CHAngE OIL
Your vehicle is equipped with an en-
gine oil change indicator system. The
CHAngE OILmessage 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.
Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) Display (for versions/
markets, where provided)
The Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) features a driver-
interactive display that is located in
the instrument cluster. For further in-
formation, refer to “Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC)”.
7. Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
This light monitors the
Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS). The light will turn
on when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON/RUN position and
may stay on for as long as four sec-
onds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on
while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake sys-
tem is not functioning and that service
is required. However, the conven-
tional brake system will continue to
operate normally if the BRAKE warn-
ing light is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake sys-
tem should be serviced as soon as
possible to restore the benefits of
Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS light
does not turn on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON/RUN posi-
tion, have the light inspected by an
authorized dealer.
8. Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale Light (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Each tire, including the
spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the in-
flation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure la-
bel.
As an added safety feature, your ve-
hicle has been equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE
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".

tect your vehicle warranty and ensure
the best vehicle performance and reli-
ability. More frequent maintenance
may be needed for vehicles in severe

pected.The oil change indicator system will
remind you that it is time to take your

The oil change indicator mes-
sage will not monitor the time
since the last oil change. Change
your vehicles oil if it has been 12
months since your last oil
change even if the oil change in-
dicator message is NOT illumi-
nated. Under no circumstances should
oil change intervals exceed
12,000 km or 12 months, which-
ever comes first.
Rotate the tires at the first sign of irregular wear.
Your authorized dealer will reset the
oil change indicator message after
completing the scheduled oil change.
