Oil Change Message Reset
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Change Engine Oil” message
will appear in the Instrument Cluster Display for ap-
proximately 5 seconds after a single chime has sounded

engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based,

Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, push and
release the
MENU

Modes Control
Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise to change the airflow distribution mode. The
airflow distribution mode can be adjusted so air comes from the instrument panel outlets,
floor outlets, defrost outlets and demist outlets. The Mode settings are as follows:
• Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the instrument panel. Each of these outlets can be
individually adjusted to direct the flow of air. The air vanes of the center outlets and
outboard outlets can be moved up and down or side to side to regulate airflow
direction. There is a shut off wheel located below the air vanes to shut off or adjust the
amount of airflow from these outlets.
• Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel outlets and floor outlets. A slight amount of air
is directed through the defrost and side window demister outlets.
NOTE:
BI-LEVEL mode is designed under comfort conditions to provide cooler air out of the
panel outlets and warmer air from the floor outlets.
•Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed through the defrost
and side window demister outlets.
• Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor, defrost, and side window demister outlets. This setting
works best in cold or snowy conditions that require extra heat to the windshield. This
setting is good for maintaining comfort while reducing moisture on the windshield.
