Remaining Oil Life
This display shows an estimate of
the oil's remaining useful life.
If Remaining Oil Life 99% is
displayed, that means 99% of the
current oil life remains.
When the remaining oil life is low,
the Change Engine Oil Soon
message will appear on the display.
See Engine Oil Messages on
page 4 30. The oil should be
changed as soon as possible. See
Engine Oil on page 9 10. In
addition to the engine oil life system
monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule in this
manual. See Scheduled
Maintenance on page 10 2 for
more information.
Remember, the Oil Life display must
be reset after each oil change. It
will not reset itself. Also, be careful
not to reset the Oil Life display
accidentally at any time other than
when the oil has just been changed.
It cannot be reset accurately until
the next oil change. To reset the
engine oil life system, press
SET/CLR while the Oil Life display
is active. The display will ask for
confirmation of a reset. Press
to select Yes or No. Then press
or SET/CLR to confirm the
selection. See Engine Oil Life
System on page 9 11.

Vehicle Messages

Messages are displayed on the DIC
to notify the driver that the status of
the vehicle has changed and that
some action may be needed by the
driver to correct the condition.
Multiple messages may appear one
after another.
or
Some messages may not require
immediate action, but you can press
or SET/CLR to acknowledge that
or
you received the messages and to
clear them from the display. Some
messages cannot be cleared from
the DIC display because they are
more urgent. These messages
require action before they can be
cleared. You should take any
messages that appear on the
display seriously and remember that
clearing the messages will only
make the messages disappear, not
correct the problem. You will find the
possible messages that can be
displayed and some information
about them grouped by subject in
the following information.
