OIL CHANGE RESET
Oil Change Due
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indic a

tor system. The “Oil Change Due” message
will display in the instrument cluster display for five
seconds after a single chime has sounded to
indicate the next scheduled oil change interval.
The engine 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

ime the ignition is cycled to the ON or RUN
position. To reset the oil change indicator system
(after performing the scheduled maintenance),
refer to the following procedure:

1. Without pushing the brake pedal, push the ENGI N

E START/STOP button and cycle 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 the ENGIN
E START/STOP button once to return the
ignition to the OFF position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when you start
the v e
hicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. See an authorized dealer to have the oil life
reset.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil
change indicator system. The oil change indicator
system will remind you that it is time to take your
vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil
change

indicator message will illuminate in the
instrument cluster. This means that service is
required for your vehicle. Operating conditions
such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow and
extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures will
influence when the “Change Oil” or “Oil Change
Required” message is displayed. Have your vehicle
serviced as soon as possible, within the next
500 miles (805 km). An authorized dealer will reset the oil change
indica

tor message after completing the scheduled
oil change.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change
inter v
als exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km),
1 year or 350 hours of engine run time, whichever
c omes f

irst. The 350 hours of engine run or idle
time is generally only a concern for fleet
customers.
NOTE:
The Oil Change Indicator will not illuminate under
these
conditions. Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
Check engine oil level.
Check windshield washer fluid level.
Check the tire inflation pressures and look for
unusual wear or damage.
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir,
and brake master cylinder reservoir, and fill as
needed.
Check function of all interior and exterior lights.

298 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Function Deactivation:
The functionality is reset if:
The ignition is turned to the MAR/RUN position.
Number of subsequent activations is three.
Two minutes timer has expired after turning the
ignition OFF.

EXHAUST SYSTEM
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry
into the vehicle body is a properly maintained
engine exhaust system. If you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust
syste
m

; or if the exhaust fumes can be detected
inside the vehicle; or when the underside or rear of
the vehicle is damaged; have an authorized
technician inspect the complete exhaust system
and adjacent body areas for broken, damaged,
deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams
or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes
to seep into the passenger compartment. In
addition, have the exhaust system inspected each
time the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil
change. Replace as required.1 — Wiper Blade
2 — Release Button
3 — Wiper Arm
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Breathing it can make you uncon -
scious and can eventually poison you. To
avoid b

reathing CO Ú page 267.
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you
park over materials that can burn. Such mate -
rials might be grass or leaves coming into
c ontact

with your exhaust system. Do not park
or operate your vehicle in areas where your
exhaust system can contact anything that can
burn.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Special Additives
The manufacturer strongly recommends against
using any special additives in the transmission.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is an
engine
ered product and its performance may be
impaired by supplemental additives. Therefore, do
not add any fluid additives to the transmission. The
only exception to this policy is the use of special
dyes for diagnosing fluid leaks. Avoid using
transmission sealers as they may adversely affect
seals.
Fluid Level Check
The fluid level is preset at the factory and does not
require adjustment under normal operating
conditions. Routine fluid level checks are not
required; therefore the transmission has no
dipstick. An authorized dealer can check your
transmission fluid level using special service tools.
If you notice fluid leakage or transmission
malfunction, visit an authorized dealer immediately to have the transmission fluid level
checked. Operating the vehicle with an improper
fluid level can cause severe transmission damage.
Fluid And Filter Changes
Under normal operating conditions, the fluid
installed at the factory will provide satisfactory
lubrication for the life of the vehicle.
Routine fluid and filter changes are not required.
However
,

change the fluid and filter if the fluid
becomes contaminated (with water, etc.), or if the
transmission is disassembled for any reason.
Selection Of Lubricant
It is important to use the proper transmission fluid
to ensure optimum transmission performance and
life. Use the manufacturer specified transmission
fluid Ú page 345. It is important to maintain the
transmission fluid at the correct level using the
r ecomme

nded fluid.
NOTE:
No chemical flushes should be used in any trans -
mission; only the approved lubricant should be
u sed.
FUSES
General InformationCAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
transmission as the chemicals can damage your
transmission components. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit an
authorized dealer immediately. Severe
transmission damage may occur. An authorized
dealer has the proper tools to adjust the fluid
level accurately.CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other than the
manufacturer recommended fluid may cause
deterioration in transmission shift quality and/or
torque converter shudder Ú page 345.
WARNING!
When replacing a blown fuse, always use an
appropriate replacement fuse with the same
amp rating as the original fuse. Never replace
a fuse with another fuse of higher amp rating.
Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires or
any other material. Failure to use proper fuses
may result in serious personal injury, fire and/
or property damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the
ignition is off and that all the other services
are switched off and/or disengaged.
