indicator system. The “Change Engine Oil” message will
flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10 seconds

release theMENUbutton. To reset the oil change indica-
tor system (after performing the scheduled maintenance),

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. (do not
start the engine.)
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly, three times
within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
