3. Release the “OIL CHANGE” but-ton, and the oil change indicator
will go off.
TIP
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator must
be reset after the oil change for the
next periodic oil change to be indica-
ted at the correct time. To reset the oil
change indicator before the periodic
oil change interval has been reached,
follow the above procedure, but note
that the indicator will come on for 1.4

positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level throughthe check window.
