WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
– Park/Headlight ON Indicator
This indicator will illuminate when the park lights or headlights are turned on.
– Power Steering System Warning
This light is used to manage the electrical warning of the EPS (Electric Power Steering
System). When the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN position, the warning light will illu-
minate momentarily. If the warning light stays on, cycle the ignition to the OFF position
and back to ON/RUN. If the warning light stays on, contact your authorized dealer.
If the warning light switches on while driving, you may not have steering assistance. Al-
though it will still be possible to steer the car, the effort needed to operate the steering
wheel could be increased: contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
– Defroster Indicator
Indicates that defroster is on.
Change Engine Oil
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The "Change Engine
Oil" message will flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10 seconds after a single
chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil
change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval
may fluctuate, dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you turn the ignition switch
to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, push and release the
MENU button. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled
maintenance), refer to the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Do not start the engine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator
system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
