Engine Oil Life System
The engine oil life system calculates
engine oil life based on vehicle use

engine oil and filter. The oil life
system should be reset to 100%
only following an oil change.

information button to display OIL

2. Press the DIC Set/Reset button
for during 5 seconds to reset the
oil life at 100%.
Be careful not to reset the oil life
display accidentally at any time
other than after the oil is
changed. It cannot be reset
accurately until the next oil
change.
The oil life system can also be reset
as follows:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN
with the engine off.
2. Fully press and release the
accelerator pedal three times
within five seconds.
If the change engine oil light is
