Engine Oil Life Reset - Owner Manual

HOW TO RESET THE ENGINE OIL LIFE SYSTEM
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change is necessary. A "CHANGE OIL SOON" message will come on. Change the engine oil as soon as possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life system may not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year. However, the engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset.

If the system is ever reset accidentally, change the engine oil at 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since last oil change.

To reset the Engine Oil Life System, do the following:
1. With the "CHANGE OIL SOON" message displayed, press any of the three driver information center (DIC) buttons to clear the "CHANGE OIL SOON" message.
2. Display "OIL LIFE RESET" on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
3. Press and hold the "ENTER" button for at least one second. An "ACKNOWLEDGED" display message will appear for three seconds or until the next button is pressed. This will tell you the system has reset.
4. Turn the ignition to "OFF".

If the "CHANGE OIL SOON" message comes back on when you start the 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 can 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.

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 used oil, ask your dealer/retailer, a service station, or a local recycling center for help.
