Remember, the Remaining Oil
Life display must be reset after each
oil change. It will not reset itself.
Also, be careful not to reset the
Remaining Oil Life display
accidentally at any time other than
when the oil has just been changed.
It cannot be reset accurately until
the next oil change. To reset the
Engine Oil Life System press SET/
CLR while the Remaining Oil Life
display is active. See Engine Oil
Life System
on page 1012
.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display in the DIC. See Compass

for more information.
Vehicle Messages
Messages displayed on the DIC
indicate the status of the vehicle or
some action may be needed to
correct a condition. Multiple
messages may display one after the
other.
The messages that do not require
immediate action can be
acknowledged and cleared by
pressing SET/CLR. The messages
that require immediate action cannot
be cleared until that action is
performed. All messages should be
taken seriously and clearing the
messages does not correct the
problem.
