MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

For information on the maintenance procedures for your vehicle, please refer to "Maintenance
Procedures" in "Maintaining Your Vehicle" on the USB card contained in your Owner's Information
kit.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

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, 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 Wrench Warning Light appears in the cluster as a service reminder when vehicle maintenance
is required, according to the scheduled maintenance mileage. The maintenance schedule intervals
are set by the manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out may void your New Vehicle Warranty.
NOTE:
The actual interval for changing the oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle
usage conditions and is signalled by the warning light or message (if present) on the instrument
panel or every 12 months.
