Oil change reset
Press the OIL CHANGE RESET
control to reset the oil life feature to
100% (or your personalized oil reset
percentage) (at optimal driving
conditions, 100% oil life is equivalent
to a maximum of 12 000 kilometers
[7 500 miles]). After you have the oil
changed, you must press and hold
the OIL CHANGE RESET control for
five seconds. The message center will
count down for five seconds. 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%.) This reset procedure
should be performed only after an oil change to ensure accurate oil life
indications.
Your personalized oil reset percentage allows you to establish a smaller
oil change interval than the manufacturer’s recommended interval. To
establish your personalized oil reset percentage:
1. Press and hold the OIL CHANGE RESET control and press the RESET
control while the display is still counting down the five seconds to reset.
The display will change to START OIL LIFE AT XXX%.
2. Press the OIL CHANGE RESET control until the displayed percentage
is the personalized oil reset percentage you desire. Your choices are
100%, 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40% and 30%.
3. Press the RESET control to
complete the procedure. Pressing
any control other than RESET or
OIL CHANGE RESET will abort this
procedure and will not establish
your new personalized oil reset
percentage.
When your personalized oil reset
percentage has been established, it
will be used beginning with the
completion of your next OIL CHANGE RESET procedure.
