SCHEDULED SERVICING
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. This
means that service is required for your vehicle.
Operating conditions such as frequent
short-trips, or extremely hot or cold ambient
temperatures will influence when the "Oil
Change Required" message is displayed. Have
your vehicle serviced as soon as possible,
within the next 500 miles (805 km). Additional
information regarding the oil quality of your
vehicle can be found by checking the Oil Life
display that shows the percentage life
remaining on the current oil Ú page 38.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
Even though the vehicle may not have been
driven, both the fuel in the tank and oil in the
engine will still degrade over time. Additionally,
there will be a notification to the driver if the
engine is being run to maintain the oil and fuel
systems.
An authorized dealer will reset the oil change
indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change
is performed by someone other than an
authorized dealer, the message can be reset
Ú page 38.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km)
(engine on miles), 12 months or 350 hours of
engine run time; whichever comes first. The
350 hours of engine run or idle time is generally
only a concern for fleet customers.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
Check engine oil level.
Check windshield washer fluid level.
Check tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first sign
of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the
oil indicator system turns on.
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir
and brake master cylinder, fill as needed.
Check function of all interior and exterior
lights.
