the driver changes gear, or the driving conditions return
to a situation where changing gear is not required to
improve fuel consumption.
Oil Change Due
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Oil Change Due” message will
flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10 seconds
after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. 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 continue to display each
time you cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position. To
turn off the message temporarily, push and release the
MENU button. To reset the oil change indicator system
(after performing the scheduled maintenance), perform
the following procedure:
1. Without pushing the brake pedal, push the ENGINESTART/STOP button and cycle the ignition to the
ON/RUN position (do not start the engine.)

in a fuel efficient manner, and it can be used to modify
driving habits in order to increase fuel economy.
Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous

tank level. DTE cannot be reset through the SELECT
button.

loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.

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.
