Engine Oil Life System

The engine oil life system calculates
engine oil life based on vehicle use
and displays CHANGE ENGINE OIL
SOON message when it is time to
change the engine oil and filter. The
oil life system should be reset to
100% only following an oil change.
Dry Sump Engine Break-In Oil
Change
If equipped with a dry sump engine,
the initial oil and filter change must
be performed at 800 km/500 mi.
Follow the engine oil life system for
every oil change thereafter.
Resetting the Oil Life System
After you change the oil, the oil life
system will need to be reset. See
your dealer for service.
See Engine Oil Life System 0 216.

Car Wash Guidelines

Caution
Some automatic car washes can
cause damage to the vehicle,
wheels, or convertible top,
if equipped. Automatic car
washes are not recommended,
due to lack of clearance for the
undercarriage and/or wide rear
tyres and wheels. See "Washing
the Vehicle" under Exterior Care

Driving for Better Fuel

Economy

Driving habits can affect fuel
mileage. Here are some driving tips
to get the best fuel economy
possible:
Avoid fast starts and accelerate
smoothly.
Brake gradually and avoid
abrupt stops.
Avoid idling the engine for long
periods of time.
When road and weather
conditions are appropriate, use
cruise control.
Always follow posted speed
limits or drive more slowly when
conditions require.
Keep vehicle tyres properly
inflated.
Combine several trips into a
single trip.
Replace the vehicle's tyres with
the same TPC Spec number
moulded into the tyre's sidewall
near the size.
Follow recommended scheduled
maintenance.
Select Eco mode for improved
fuel economy. This will result in
better Active Fuel Management
(AFM) operation. See Active
