When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change is necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will come on. Change the engine oil as soon as possible within the next 1 000 km (600 miles). It is possible that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life may not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year. However, the engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset.



If the system is ever reset accidentally, change the engine oil at 5 000 km (3,000 miles) since last oil change.



To reset the Engine Oil Life System, do the following:



Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine off.

Slowly fully press and release the accelerator pedal 3 times within 5 seconds.

The reset is complete when the chimes sound and the CHANGE OIL lamp goes out. If the lamp stays on and no chime is heard, repeat the reset procedure.
