OIL CHANGE RESET PROCEDURE This
procedure allows you to reset the oil monitoring
system to 100% (or your Personalized Oil Reset
Percentage) after each oil change.
1. Press the VEHICLE SETTINGS control until the
“OIL CHANGE RESET” display appears.
2. Then press the RESET switch and hold it for 5
seconds while the display counts down to
trigger an oil change reset.
3. After a successful reset the Message Center will
display “OIL LIFE RESET TO 100%”. If you
have established a Personalized Oil Reset
Percentage, the display will show that
percentage instead of 100%. To ensure accurate
oil life indicators, perform this reset procedure
only after an oil change. For more information
on Personalized Oil Reset Percentage see the
section on Personalized Oil Reset Percentage.
GEAR DISPLAY DATA ERR This warning
message is displayed when the data used to provide
the redundant gear selection display on the
Instrument Cluster is missing or invalid. In this
case, the Instrument cluster redundant gear
selection display is turned off. The driver should use
the mechanical position indication on the center
console gear selector as temporary indication. If this
warning stays on, contact your dealer for service as
soon as safely possible.
