The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this
manual must be done at the times or mileages specified
to protect your vehicle warranty and ensure the best
vehicle performance and reliability. More frequent
maintenance may be needed for vehicles in severe
operating conditions, such as dusty areas and very
short trip driving. Inspection and service should also be
done anytime a malfunction is suspected.
The oil change indicator system will remind you that it
is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled mainte-
nance.
On Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
equipped vehicles “Oil Change Required” will be dis-
played in the EVIC and a single chime will sound,
indicating that an oil change is necessary.NOTE:

The oil change indicator message will not
monitor the time since the last oil change.
Change your vehicles oil if it has been 1 year
since your last oil change even if the oil change
indicator message is NOT illuminated.
• Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 15,000 km or 1 year, which-
ever comes first.
• Rotate the tires at the first sign of irregular
wear.
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indica-
tor message after completing the scheduled oil change.
Failure to perform the required mainte-
nance items may result in damage to the
