When to Change Engine Air
Filter
If equipped, this feature provides an
indication of when to change the
engine air filter. It is based on
driving conditions, which can cause
when to change to vary greatly. It is
possible an air filter change may not
be indicated for up to four years.
When the "Replace at Next Oil
Change" message displays, the
engine air filter should be replaced
at the time of the next engine oil
change. When the "Replace Engine
Air Filter Now" message displays,
the engine air filter should be
replaced as soon as possible. Reset
the engine air filter life system after
the engine air filter is replaced. See
your dealer for service and to reset
the system.

Engine Oil Change
When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL
SOON message displays, change
the engine oil and filter within 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
last service. Reset the oil life
system when the oil is changed.
See
Engine Oil Life System 0221.

Transmission Fluid Change
When the CHANGE
TRANSMISSION FLUID SOON
message displays, change the fluid
and filter within the next 1 000 km

intervals can lead to reduced transmission performance. The
transmission fluid must be changed
at least every three years and the
Fluid Life System must be reset.
Your dealer has trained service
technicians who will change the fluid
and reset the system. If the system
is ever reset accidentally, the fluid
must be changed at 72 000 km
(45,000 mi) since the last fluid
change. See
Dual Clutch
