flash in the instrument cluster odometer and a single
chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is neces-
sary.
On Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
equipped vehicles, Oil Change Required will be dis-
played in the EVIC and a single chime will sound,
indicating that an oil change is necessary.
