message is displayed.
3. Once the alternating OIL LIFE and RESET

until several beeps sound. This conrms
that the oil life system has been reset.
4. Turn the key to LOCK.
If the CHANGE OIL message comes back on
when you start your vehicle, the engine oil
life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 202.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements
that can be unhealthy for your skin and could
even cause cancer. Do not let used oil stay
on your skin for very long. Clean your skin
and nails with soap and water, or a good hand
cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing
or rags containing used engine oil. See the
manufacturer’s warnings about the use and
disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment.
If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all
the oil from the lter before disposal. Never
dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring
it on the ground, into sewers, or into streams
or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by taking
it to a place that collects used oil. If you have
a problem properly disposing of used oil, ask
your dealer/retailer, a service station, or a local
recycling center for help.
