CHAngE OIL Message
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The "CHAngE OIL"
message will flash in the instrument cluster
odometer for approximately 12 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 mes-
sage temporarily, press and release the Trip
Odometer button on the instrument cluster. To
reset the oil change indicator system (after
performing the scheduled maintenance), refer
to the following procedure:
