ENGINE OIL LIFE SYSTEM
HOW TO RESET THE ENGINE OIL LIFE SYSTEM AND THE OIL LIFE INDICATOR
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change your engine oil and filter based on vehicle use. Anytime your oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is required. If a situation occurs where you change your oil prior to a change engine oil message in the DIC being turned on, reset the system.
After the oil has been changed, the change engine oil message and the oil life indicator must be reset. To reset the message and indicator, use one of the following procedures:
BASE AUDIO SYSTEM
Press the "CLR" button located to the right of the DIC display to acknowledge the change engine oil message. This will clear the message from the display and reset it.
To reset the oil life indicator, use the following steps:
1. Press the "up" or "down" arrow on the "INFO" button located to the right of the DIC display to access the DIC menu.
2. Once XXX% "ENGINE OIL LIFE" menu item is highlighted, press and hold the "CLR" button. The percentage will return to "100", and the oil life indicator will be reset. Repeat the steps if the percentage does not return to 100.
3. Turn the key to "OFF".
If the change engine oil message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
If you select this item, the percentage of remaining oil life is displayed. If you see 99% Oil Life on the display, that means that 99% of the current oil life remains.
When the oil life is depleted, the "Change Engine Oil" message will appear on the display. In addition to the Engine Oil Life System monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is recommended in the Maintenance Schedule. Refer to "Maintenance Schedule".
When you reset the Change Engine Oil message by clearing it from the display, you still must reset the engine oil life monitor separately.
To reset the oil life indicator, use the following steps:
1. Turn the system on by pressing the "PWR/VOL" knob once. The "PWR/VOL" knob is located to the lower left of the DIC display.
2. Press the "INFO" button located to the left of the display to access the Vehicle Info (Information) menu.
3. Turn the "TUNE/SEL" knob located to the lower right of the display until "Engine Oil Life" is highlighted. Press the knob once to select it.
4. Once "XXX% Engine Oil Life" is displayed, press the multi-function button next to the Reset prompt in the upper right corner of the display. The percentage will return to 100, and the oil life indicator will be reset. Repeat the steps if the percentage does not return to 100.
5. Turn the key to "OFF".
If the change engine oil message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
WHAT TO DO WITH USED OIL
Used engine oil contains certain elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or rags containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from the filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil, ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling center for help.
