SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil
change indicator system. The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is time to
take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil
change indicator message will illuminate in the
instrument cluster. This means that an engine oil
and engine oil filter change is required for your
vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent
short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold
ambient temperatures will influence when the
“Change Oil” or “Oil Change Required” message
is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can
cause the change oil message to illuminate as
early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset.
Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible,
within the next 500 miles (805 km).
The Wrench Warning Light may appear in the
cluster as a service reminder when vehicle
maintenance is required, according to the
scheduled maintenance mileage. The
maintenance schedule intervals are set by the
manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out
may void your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
NOTE:
The actual interval for changing the oil and
replacing the engine oil filter depends on the
vehicle usage conditions and is signaled by the
warning light or message (if equipped) on the
instrument panel or every 12 months.
