SCHEDULED SERVICING — GASOLINE
ENGINE
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 ser-
vice is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions
such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, or 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 pos-
sible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).

On vehicles equipped with an instrument cluster dis-
play, "Oil Change Required" will be displayed and a
single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is
necessary.
On vehicles not equipped with an instrument cluster
display, "Change Oil" will flash in the instrument cluster
odometer and a single chime will sound, indicating that
an oil change is necessary.
An authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator
message after completing the scheduled oil change. To
reset the system follow the steps described
