OIL CHANGE INDICATOR - RESET

• To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance) perform the following procedure:
  • Without pressing the brake pedal, press the ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine.)
  • Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
  • Without pressing the brake pedal, press the ENGINE START/STOP button once to return the ignition to the OFF/LOCK position.
  NOTE:

  If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.

The maintenance intervals shown in chart below should be performed as indicated in this Service Information.

At Each Stop for Fuel

• Check the engine oil level about 15 minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when the level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
• Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.

Once a Month

• Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.
• Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and add fluid as needed.
• Check all lights and other electrical items for correct operation.

At Each Oil Change

• Change the engine oil filter.
• Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
• Inspect for the presence of water in the fuel filter/water separator unit.
