indicator system. The “Oil Change Due” message will
flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10 seconds

scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change
indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the

upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and
release the MENU button. To reset the oil change indica-
tor system (after performing the scheduled maintenance)

start the engine).2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times
within 10 seconds.

start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
