8 km (5 mi) before it is started again,
and then the retroactive reset
feature is activated, the display will
show 8 km (5 mi). As the vehicle
begins moving, the display will then
increase to 8.2 km (5.1 mi), 8.4 km
(5.2 mi), etc.

If the retroactive reset feature is
activated after the vehicle is started,
but before it begins moving, the
display will show the number of
kilometers (km) or miles (mi) driven
during the last ignition cycle.

OIL LIFE

To access this display, the vehicle
must be in P (Park). Press the trip
odometer reset stem until OIL LIFE
REMAINING displays. This display
shows an estimate of the oil's
remaining useful life. If you see
99% OIL LIFE REMAINING on the
display, that means 99% of the
current oil life remains. The engine
oil life system will alert you to
change the oil on a schedule
consistent with your driving
conditions.

When the remaining oil life is low,
the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message will appear on the display.
See

“

CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON

”

under

Engine Oil Messages on

page 5-35

. You should change the

oil as soon as you can. See

Engine

Oil on page 10-7

. In addition to the

engine oil life system monitoring the
oil life, additional maintenance is
recommended in the Maintenance
Schedule in this manual. See

Maintenance Schedule on
page 11-2

for more information.

Remember, you must reset the OIL
LIFE display yourself after each oil
change. It will not reset itself. Also,
be careful not to reset the OIL LIFE
display accidentally at any time
other than when the oil has just
been changed. It cannot be reset
accurately until the next oil change.
To reset the engine oil life system,
see

Engine Oil Life System on

page 10-9

.

PARK ASSIST

To access this display, the vehicle
must be in P (Park). If your vehicle
has the Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA) system, press the trip
odometer reset stem until PARK
ASSIST displays. This display
allows the system to be turned on or
off. Once in this display, press and
hold the trip odometer reset stem to
select between ON or OFF. If you
choose ON, the system will be
turned on. If you choose OFF, the
system will be turned off. The URPA
system automatically turns back on
after each vehicle start. When the
URPA system is turned off and the
vehicle is shifted out of P (Park), the
DIC will display the PARK ASSIST
OFF message as a reminder that
the system has been turned off. See

Object Detection System Messages
