How to Reset the Oil Life Indicator
After the oil has been changed, display the OIL LIFE
message by pressing the INFO button. Then press and
hold the RESET button until the display shows 100%
ENGINE OIL LIFE. This resets the oil life index. The
percentage of oil life remaining may be checked at any
time by pressing the INFO button several times until the
OIL LIFE message appears. For more information on
the oil life feature, see “Oil Life Indicator” in the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain elements
that may be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause
cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin for very long.
Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good hand
cleaner. Wash or properly throw away clothing or rags
containing used engine oil. (See the manufacturer’s warnings
about the use and disposal of oil products.)
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all free
-
flowing oil
from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of oil
by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If
you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil,
ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling
center for help.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The engine air cleaner filter is located on the driver’s
side of the engine. Be sure the engine has cooled before
following these steps to replace the air cleaner filter:
1. Loosen both wing nuts on the top of the air
cleaner assembly.
2. Lift up the outboard side of the air cleaner cover
at an angle while pulling toward you to remove
the cover.
