Engine Oil Change Indicator System — If
Equipped

Oil Change Required
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change

indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message

will display in the EVIC display for approximately five

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 Trip Odometer button on the instrument

cluster. 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 push 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.
