Oil Change Reset
Oil Change Required
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change
Required” message will display in the instru-
ment cluster display for five seconds after a
single chime has sounded, to indicate the
next scheduled oil change interval. The en-
gine 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 continue to
display each time you cycle the ignition to the
ON/RUN position. To turn off the message
temporarily, push and release the
OKbutton.
To reset the oil change indicator system (after
performing the scheduled maintenance), re-
fer to the following procedure.
Oil Change Reset Procedure
1. Without pushing the brake pedal, push and release the ENGINE START/STOP
button and place the ignition to the ON/
RUN position (do not start the engine).
2. Fully push the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Without pushing the brake pedal, push and release the ENGINE START/STOP
button once to return the ignition to the
OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when
you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator
system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this
procedure. Secondary Method For Oil Change Reset
1. Without pushing the brake pedal, push
and release the ENGINE START/STOP
button and place the ignition to the ON/
RUN position (do not start the engine).
2. Navigate to "Oil Life" submenu in "Vehicle Info" in the instrument cluster display.
3. Push and Hold the OKbutton until the
gauge resets to 100%.

indicate that the parking brake is applied,
that the brake fluid level is low, or that there
is a problem with the anti-lock brake system
reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking
brake has been disengaged, and the fluid
level is at the full mark on the master cylinder
reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hy-
draulic system malfunction or that a problem
with the Brake Booster has been detected by
the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Elec-
tronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this
case, the light will remain on until the condi-
tion has been corrected. If the problem is
related to the brake booster, the ABS pump
will run when applying the brake, and a brake
pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in
either half of the dual brake system is indi-
cated by the Brake Warning Light, which will
turn on when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a speci-
fied level.The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp
cornering maneuvers, which change fluid
level conditions. The vehicle should have
service performed, and the brake fluid level
checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair
is necessary.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light
on is dangerous. Part of the brake system
may have failed. It will take longer to stop
the vehicle. You could have a collision.
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) are also equipped with Elec-
tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the
event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning
Light will turn on along with the ABS Light.
Immediate repair to the ABS system is re-
quired. Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
checked by turning the ignition switch from
the OFF position to the ON/RUN position.
The light should illuminate for approximately
two seconds. The light should then turn off
unless the parking brake is applied or a brake
fault is detected. If the light does not illumi-
nate, have the light inspected by an autho-
rized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in
the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is
applied. It does not show the degree of brake
application.
– Vehicle Security Light
This light will flash at a fast rate for approxi-
mately 15 seconds when the vehicle security
alarm is arming, and then will flash slowly
until the vehicle is disarmed.

– Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Indicator Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake Sys-
tem (ABS). The light will turn on when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON/RUN
position and may stay on for as long as four
seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while
driving, then the Anti-Lock portion of the
brake system is not functioning and service is
required. However, the conventional brake
system will continue to operate normally if
the brake warning light is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system
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 placed in the ON/RUN
position, have the light inspected by an au-
thorized dealer.
– Low Fuel Warning Light
When the fuel level reaches approximately
2.4 gal (9.1 L) this light will turn on, and
remain on until fuel is added.
– Service Stop/Start System Indicator
Light — If Equipped
This telltale will turn on to indicate the Stop/
Start system is not functioning properly and
service is required.
– Forward Collision OFF Warning (FCW)
Light
This light indicates the Forward Collision
Warning is off.
– Service Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) Light
This light indicates a potential system fault
with the FCW system. Refer to “Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC) — If Equipped” in
“Starting and Operating” for further informa-
tion.
– Low Windshield Washer Fluid Indica-
tor — If Equipped
This indicator will illuminate when the wind-
shield washer fluid is low.
– Service Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) System Indicator Light
This light will turn on when a ACC is not
operating and needs service. For further in-
formation, refer to “Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) — If Equipped” in “Starting And Op-
erating.”
– 4WD Low Indicator Light — If
Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is
in the four-wheel drive LOW mode. The front
and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked
together forcing the front and rear wheels to
rotate at the same speed. Low range provides
a greater gear reduction ratio to provide in-
creased torque at the wheels.
Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation — If
Equipped” in “Starting And Operating” for
further information on four-wheel drive op-
eration and proper use.
– LaneSense Indicator Light — If
Equipped
The LaneSense is solid yellow when the sys-
tem senses a lane drift situation.
