service center as soon as possible.
CHANgE OIL

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 interval. The engine oil changeindicator system is duty cycle based, which means the

To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the
Trip Odometer button on the instrument cluster. To reset
the oil change indicator system (after performing the

dure:
Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not
start the engine).

10 seconds.
