"Oil Life" or "Suit in Oil" function: your
vehicle's service interval is 24,000 miles
(40,000 km), in normal use.
However, the engine control unit tests the
degree of wear of the engine oil.
If your vehicle is used in arduous conditions
and consequently suffers engine oil
wear and if your vehicle is fitted with this
equipment, you are warned by flashing of
the engine oil pressure warning
light and the displaying of a
message on the instrument panel
each time the vehicle is started.

In this case, your vehicle must be
