MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

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 ser-

vice is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions

such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or

cold ambient temperatures will influence when the “Oil

Change Required” message is displayed. Severe Operat-

ing Conditions can cause the change oil message to

illuminate as early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last

reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible,

within the next 500 miles (805 km).

Your 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 your authorized dealer, the message can be reset by

referring to the steps described under “Electronic Vehicle

Information Center (EVIC)” or “Driver Information Dis-

play (DID)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”

for further information.
NOTE:

Under no circumstances should oil change inter-

vals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or twelve months,

whichever comes first.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:

• Check engine oil level
• Check windshield washer fluid level
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual

wear or damage
