When the appropriate condition ex-
ists, the odometer display will toggle
between LoW and tirE for three
cycles. gASCAP
If the vehicle diagnostic system deter-
mines that the fuel filler cap is loose,
improperly installed, or damaged, a
“gASCAP” message will display in the
odometer display area. Tighten the
fuel filler cap properly and press the
STEP button on the steering wheel to

(IOD) fuse is improperly installed, or
damaged, a “noFUSE” message will
display in the odometer display area.
For further information on fuses and
fuse locations refer to “Fuses” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
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 posi-
tion. To turn off the message tempo-
rarily, press and release the STEP
button on the steering wheel. To reset
the oil change indicator system (after
performing the scheduled mainte-
nance), perform the following steps.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/
RUN position (do not start the en-
gine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal,
slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the
OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message
illuminates when you start the en-
gine, the oil change indicator sys-
tem did not reset. If necessary, re-
peat these steps.

INFORMATION CENTER
(EVIC) DISPLAYS
The EVIC display consists of three
sections:
1. The top line where compass direc-
tion, odometer line and outside tem-
perature are displayed.
2. The main display area where the
menus and pop up messages are dis-
played.
3. The reconfigurable telltales sec-
tion below the odometer line.
The main display area will normally
display the main menu or the screens
of a selected feature of the main
menu. The main display area also dis-
plays "pop up" messages that consist
of approximately 60 possible warning
or information messages. These pop
up messages fall into several catego-
ries:
Five Second Stored Messages
When the appropriate conditions oc-
cur, this type of message takes control
of the main display area for five sec-
onds and then returns to the previous
screen. Most of the messages of this
type are then stored (as long as the
condition that activated it remains ac-
tive) and can be reviewed from the
"Messages" main menu item. As long
as there is a stored message, an "i"
will be displayed in the EVIC's
compass/outside temp line. Examples
of this message type are "Right Front
Turn Signal Lamp Out" and "Low
Tire Pressure".
Unstored Messages
This message type is displayed indefi-
nitely or until the condition that acti-
vated the message is cleared. Ex-
amples of this message type are "Turn
Signal On" (if a turn signal is left on)
and "Lights On" (if driver leaves the
vehicle).
Unstored Messages Until RUN
This message type is displayed until
the ignition is in the RUN state. Ex-
ample of this message type is "Press
Brake Pedal and Push Button to
Start".

through the SELECT button.
NOTE: Significant changes in
driving style or vehicle loading
will greatly affect the actual driv-
able distance of the vehicle, re-
gardless of the DTE displayed
value.
When the DTE value is less than
48 km estimated driving distance, the
DTE display will change to a “LOW
FUEL” message. This display will
continue until the vehicle runs out of
fuel. Adding a significant amount of
fuel to the vehicle will turn off the
“LOW FUEL” message and a new
DTE value will display.
Liters Per 100km (L/100km)
This display shows the instantaneous
Liters Per 100km (L/100km) in bar
graph form while driving. This will
monitor the gas mileage in real-time
as you drive and can be used to
modify driving habits in order to in-
crease fuel economy.VEHICLE SPEED
