This vehicle is equipped with an engine oil life monitor. The engine oil life monitor will show when to change the engine oil and oil filter. This will usually occur between 5 000 km (3,000 miles) and 12 500 km (7,500 miles) since the last oil change. Under severe conditions, the indicator may come on before 5 000 km (3,000 miles).

Never drive the vehicle more than 12 500 km (7,500 miles) or 12 months without an oil and oil filter change. The engine oil life monitor will not detect dust in the oil. If the vehicle is driven in a dusty area, be sure to change the oil and oil filter every 5 000 km (3,000 miles) or sooner if the CHANGE OIL indicator comes on.

Reset the oil life monitor when the oil and oil filter has been changed; use the following procedure

Follow this procedure to reset the engine oil life monitor:

1. Turn the ignition to ON; do not start the engine.
2. Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal slowly 3 times within 5 seconds.

If the CHANGE OIL indicator flashes, the system is resetting.

3. Turn the ignition to OFF after the indicator has finished flashing, then start the vehicle. If the CHANGE OIL indicator comes back on, the engine oil life monitor has not reset; repeat the procedure.
