ists, the odometer display will toggle
between LoW and TirE for three
cycles. HOTOIL
When this message is displayed there
is a engine oil over-temperature con-
dition. When this condition occurs,
the “HOTOIL” message will be dis-
played in the odometer along with a
chime.
Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats”
in “What To Do In Emergencies”.
CHAngE OIL
Your vehicle is equipped with an en-
gine oil change indicator system. The
“CHAngE OIL” message will flash in
the instrument cluster odometer for
approximately 12 seconds after a
single chime has sounded to indicate
the next scheduled oil change inter-
val. The engine oil change indicator
system is duty cycle based, which
means the engine oil change interval
may fluctuate dependent upon your
personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will con-
tinue to display each time you turn the
ignition switch to the “ON/RUN” po-
sition. To turn off the message tempo-
rarily, press and release the Trip
Odometer button on the instrumentcluster. To reset the oil change indica-
tor system (after performing the
scheduled maintenance) perform the
following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the
ON/RUN position (do not start the
engine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator
pedal slowly 3 times within 10 sec-
onds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illumi-
nates when you start the vehicle,
the oil change indicator system did
not reset. If necessary, repeat this
procedure. 4. For vehicles equipped with the
Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC), refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)”.
