TIP●
The oil change indicator will come
on at the initial 1000 km (600 mi)
and every 3000 km (1800 mi)
thereafter.
●
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 in-
dicator must be reset after the oil
change for the next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the cor-
rect time. After resetting, the indi-
cator will come on for two seconds.
If the indicator does not come on,
repeat the procedure.
