the next 1 000 km/600 mi. If driven
under the best conditions, the
engine oil life system may not
indicate the need for vehicle service
for up to a year. The engine oil and filter must be changed at least once
a year and the oil life system must
be reset. Your trained dealer
technician can perform this work.
If the engine oil life system is reset
accidentally, service the vehicle
within 5 000 km/3,000 mi since the

system when the oil is changed.
See

filter removes dust, pollen, and
other airborne irritants from outside
air that is pulled into the vehicle.

of routine scheduled maintenance.

air filter every 36 000 km
(22,500 mi) or two years, whichever
comes first. Replace if necessary.
More frequent replacement may be
needed if the vehicle is driven in
areas with heavy traffic, areas with

dust levels. Replacement may also be needed if there is a reduction in
air flow, excessive window fogging,
or odors.
