Gear Shift Indicator — If Equipped
The gear shift indicator helps the driver
obtain optimum fuel economy and smooth
driving. It displays the selected Gear Position
1 in the instrument cluster and also notifies
the driver to change to the most suitable
Gear Position 2 corresponding to the actual
driving condition.
NOTE:
Do not rely solely on the shift-up/shift-down
recommendations by indications. The actual
driving situation might require shift opera-
tions different from indication. To avoid the
risk of accidents, the road and traffic condi-
tions have to be judged correctly by the
driver before shifting.

The gear shift indicator turns off when the
following operations are performed:
The vehicle is stopped
The vehicle is put in neutral

The clutch is not fully engaged when

MAINTENANCE MONITOR
— IF EQUIPPED
Oil Life Reset
Vehicles With Fiat Radio 3.0
"Oil Change" with flexible settings are avail-
able. Consult an authorized dealer for
details.
NOTE:
The engine oil flexible maintenance setting
is available (if equipped). Based on the
engine operating conditions, the on-board
computer in your vehicle calculates the
remaining oil life. When the engine oil flex-
ible maintenance setting is selected, the
system must be reset whenever replacing the
engine oil.
When the engine oil flexible maintenance
setting is selected, the Indicator light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster when
remaining oil life becomes less than
300 miles (500 km) or remaining days are
less than 15 (whichever comes first).
Reset Method
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The "Oil Change
Required" message will flash in the instrument
cluster 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.
