TRANSMISSION FLUID LIFE

HOW TO RESET THE CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID MESSAGE AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID INDICATOR
After the transmission fluid has been changed, the Change Trans Fluid message and the transmission fluid life indicator must be reset. To reset the message and indicator, use one of the following procedures:

BASE AUDIO SYSTEM
Press the "CLR" (Clear) button located to the right of the Driver Information Center (DIC) display to acknowledge the "CHANGE TRANS FLUID" message. This will clear the message from the display and reset it.

To reset the transmission fluid life indicator, use the following steps:

1. Press the "up" or "down" arrow on the "INFO" (Information) button located to the right of the DIC display to access the DIC menu.
2. Once the "XXX% TRANS FLUID LIFE" menu item is highlighted, press and hold the "CLR" button. The percentage will return to 100, and the transmission fluid life indicator will be reset.
3. Repeat the steps if the percentage does not return to 100.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM
If you select this item, the percentage of remaining transmission fluid life is displayed. If you see "99% Trans Fluid Life" on the display, that means that 99% of the current transmission fluid life remains.

When the transmission fluid life is depleted, the "Change Transmission Fluid" message will appear on the display. You should change the transmission fluid as soon as possible within 200 miles (320 km). Be sure to keep a written record of the mileage and date of the fluid change so you will have it for future reference.

When you reset the "Change Transmission Fluid" message by clearing it from the display, you still must reset the transmission fluid life monitor separately.

To reset the transmission fluid life indicator, use the following steps:

1. Turn the vehicle on with the ignition in "RUN".
2. Turn the Navigation system on by pressing the "PWR/VOL" knob.
3. Press and hold the vehicle "information" button in the upper right corner of the screen for three seconds. This will bring up the Vehicle Information menu.
4. Use the "up" and "down" arrows to scroll through the items until you get to "Transmission Fluid Life".
5. Press and hold the "RESET" button on the screen until the Transmission Fluid Life is reset to 100 percent. Repeat this procedure if the Transmission Fluid Life does not reset.
6. Press the "RETURN" button on the screen to return to the main screen.
