Once the fl exible maintenance is selected, the vehicle calculates the remaining oil life based on engine operating
conditions and lets you know when an oil change is due by illuminating the wrench mark in the instrument
cluster.
Replace the engine oil and fi lter when message/wrench mark is ON. And they must be changed at least once a
year or within 20,000 km (12,500 miles) since last engine oil and fi lter change.
The system must be reset whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the message/wrench mark display.
