current oil life remains.
When the remaining oil life is low,
the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON

as possible. See Engine Oil0260.
In addition to the engine oil life
system monitoring the oil life,
additional maintenance is

Schedule. See Maintenance
Schedule 0331.

display must be reset after each oil
change. It will not reset itself. Also,

Volts. The vehicle's charging system
regulates voltage based on the state
of the battery. The battery voltage
can fluctuate while viewing this
information on the DIC. This is
normal. See Charging System
