MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

For information on the maintenance procedures for your vehicle, please refer to "Main-
tenance Procedures" in "Maintaining Your Vehicle" in your Owner's Manual or applicable
supplement on the DVD for further details.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE — 3.6L AND 5.7L
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.
This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent
short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage
will influence when the "Change Oil" or "Oil Change Required" message is displayed.
Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as
3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible,
within the next 500 miles (805 km).
The message "Oil Change Required" will be displayed in the DID and a single chime will
sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your
authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under
"Instrument Cluster Warning Lights" in "What To Do In Emergencies" in this guide or
"Driver Information Display (DID)" in "Understanding Your Instrument Panel" in your
Owners Manual on the DVD for further information.
