Danger
Engine oil is an irritant and if
ingested, can cause illness or
death.
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid repeated or prolonged
contact with skin.
Wash exposed areas with soap
and water or hand cleaner.
Be careful when draining the
engine oil as it may be hot.
Engine Oil Life System
The vehicle has a computer system
that calculates when to change the
engine oil and filter. This is based
on a combination of factors which
include engine revolutions, engine
temperature, and distance driven.
Based on driving conditions, the
distance at which an oil change is
indicated can vary considerably. For
the oil life system to work properly,
the system must be reset every time
the oil is changed.
On some vehicles, when the system
has calculated that oil life has been
diminished, a CHANGE ENGINE
OIL SOON message is displayed to
indicate that an oil change is
required. See Engine Oil Messages
0 86. Change the oil as soon as
possible within the next 1 000 km.
It is possible that, if driving under
the best conditions, the oil life
system might indicate that an oil
change is not necessary for up to a
year. The engine oil and filter must
be changed at least once a year or
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in the Service & Warranty
booklet. At this time, the oil life
system must be reset.
For vehicles without the CHANGE
ENGINE OIL SOON message, an
oil change is required when the OIL
LIFE REMAINING percentage is
near 0%.
Your dealer has trained service
personnel who can perform this
work and reset the system.
It is also important to check the oil
level regularly and maintain it at the
correct level.
If the oil life system is ever reset
accidentally, the engine oil and filter
must be changed in accordance
with the maintenance schedule
outlined in the Service & Warranty
Booklet. Remember to reset the oil
life system whenever the oil is
changed.
How to Reset the Engine Oil
Life System
Reset the system whenever the
engine oil is changed so the system
can calculate the next engine oil
change. It will not reset itself.
To reset the engine oil life system:
1. Display the OIL LIFE
REMAINING screen on the
Driver Information Centre
(DIC). See Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 0 82.
