OIL LIFE
Press the vehicle information button
until OIL LIFE REMAINING displays.
This display shows an estimate of
the oil’s remaining useful life. If you
see 99% OIL LIFE REMAINING on
the display, that means 99% of the
current oil life remains. The engine
oil life system will alert you to change
the oil on a schedule consistent with
your driving conditions.
When the remaining oil life is low,
the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message will appear on the display.
See “CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON”underDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-56. You should change
the oil as soon as you can.
SeeEngine Oil on page 5-13.
In addition to the engine oil life
system monitoring the oil life,
additional maintenance is
recommended in the Maintenance
Schedule in this manual. See
Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-3
for more information.
Remember, you must reset the
OIL LIFE display yourself after each
oil change. It will not reset itself.
Also, be careful not to reset the
OIL LIFE display accidentally at any
time other than when the oil has just
been changed. It cannot be reset
accurately until the next oil change.
To reset the engine oil life system,

Trip/Fuel Menu Items
3(Trip/Fuel):Press this button
to scroll through the following
menu items:
ODOMETER
Press the trip/fuel button until
ODOMETER displays. This display
shows the distance the vehicle has
been driven in either miles (mi) or
kilometers (km). Pressing the trip
odometer reset stem will also display
the odometer.To switch between English and
metric measurements, see “UNITS”
earlier in this section.
TRIP A and TRIP B
Press the trip/fuel button until
TRIP A or TRIP B displays.
This display shows the current
distance traveled in either miles (mi)
or kilometers (km) since the last
reset for each trip odometer. Both trip
odometers can be used at the same
time. Pressing the trip odometer
reset stem will also display the trip
odometers.
Each trip odometer can be reset
to zero separately by pressing
the set/reset button or the trip
odometer reset stem while the
desired trip odometer is displayed.
The trip odometer has a feature
called the retro-active reset.
This can be used to set the trip
odometer to the number of miles
(kilometers) driven since the ignition
was last turned on. This can be
used if the trip odometer is not
reset at the beginning of the trip.
3-48 Instrument Panel
ProCarManuals.com

To use the retro-active reset feature,
press and hold the set/reset button
for at least four seconds. The trip
odometer will display the number
of miles (mi) or kilometers (km)
driven since the ignition was last
turned on and the vehicle was
moving. Once the vehicle begins
moving, the trip odometer will
accumulate mileage. For example,
if the vehicle was driven 5 miles
(8 km) before it is started again,
and then the retro-active reset
feature is activated, the display
will show 5 miles (8 km). As the
vehicle begins moving, the display
will then increase to 5.1 miles
(8.2 km), 5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.
If the retro-active reset feature is
activated after the vehicle is started,
but before it begins moving, the
display will show the number of
miles (mi) or kilometers (km) that
were driven during the last ignition
cycle.RANGE
Press the trip/fuel button until
RANGE displays. This display
shows the approximate number
of remaining miles (mi) or
kilometers (km) the vehicle can be
driven without refueling. The display
will show LOW if the fuel level is low.
The fuel range estimate is based
on an average of the vehicle’s fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimate will
change if driving conditions change.
For example, if driving in traffic and
making frequent stops, this display
may read one number, but if the
vehicle is driven on a freeway, the
number may change even though
the same amount of fuel is in thefuel tank. This is because different
driving conditions produce different
fuel economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel economy
than city driving. Fuel range cannot
be reset.
AVG (Average) ECONOMY
Press the trip/fuel button until
AVG ECONOMY displays.
This display shows the approximate
average miles per gallon (mpg) or
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km).
This number is calculated based
on the number of mpg (L/100 km)
recorded since the last time this
menu item was reset. To reset
AVG ECONOMY, press and hold
the set/reset button.

TIMER
Press the trip/fuel button until
TIMER displays. This display can
be used as a timer.
To start the timer, press the
set/reset button while TIMER is

the amount of time that has passed
since the timer was last reset, not
including time the ignition is off.
Time will continue to be counted
as long as the ignition is on, even
if another display is being shown
on the DIC. The timer will record
up to 99 hours, 59 minutes and
59 seconds (99:59:59) after which
the display will return to zero.
To stop the timer, press the set/
reset button briey while TIMER is
displayed.
To reset the timer to zero, press
and hold the set/reset button while
TIMER is displayed.FUEL USED
Press the trip/fuel button until
FUEL USED displays. This display
shows the number of gallons (gal) or
liters (L) of fuel used since the last
reset of this menu item. To reset
the fuel used information, press
and hold the set/reset button while
FUEL USED is displayed.
AVG (Average) SPEED
Press the trip/fuel button until
AVG SPEED displays. This display
shows the average speed of the
vehicle in miles per hour (mph)
or kilometers per hour (km/h).
This average is calculated based
on the various vehicle speeds
recorded since the last reset of this
value. To reset the value to zero,
press and hold the set/reset button.
