Oil Life Monitor
The Oil Life Monitor shows an estimate
of the oil’s remaining useful life. When
the oil life index is less than 10 percent,
the CHANGE OIL SOON light will illumi-
nate in the instrument panel. After hav-
ing the oil changed, reset the system so
it can calculate when the next oil change
is required. If you change your oil prior
to the illumination of the CHANGE OIL
SOON light, reset the system.
Resetting the Oil Life Monitor
To reset the Oil Life Monitor, follow
these steps:
1. With the engine off, turn the ignition
key to RUN.
2. Fully push and release the accelera-
tor pedal slowly three times within
five seconds. (If the CHANGE OIL
SOON light flashes, the system is
resetting.)
3. Turn the key to OFF, then start the
vehicle. The oil life will change to 100
percent.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
