When the ignition is in on, the DIC can be used
as a stopwatch. The display can show hours, minutes
and seconds. The elapsed time indicator will record
up to 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds, then it
will reset to zero and continue counting. The display
appears as ELAPSED TIMER .00 in the elapsed
time function.
You can start or stop the elapsed time by pressing
the RESET button. To reset the elapsed time to zero,

Pressing and holding the RESET button for at least
10 seconds will reset the timer display to the time since

This is an estimate of the engine oil’s remaining
useful life. It will show 100% when the system is reset
after an oil change. It will alert you to change the oil on
a schedule consistent with your driving conditions.
When the remaining oil life is low, the system will alert
you with the message CHANGE ENGINE OIL.
Remember, you must reset the engine oil life system
yourself after each oil change. It will not reset itself.
To reset the system, see Engine Oil Life System
on page 5-23. Be careful not to reset the engine oil life
system accidentally at any time other than when the
oil has just been changed. It cannot be reset accurately
until the next oil change.
See Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4 and Engine
