MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

nance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” in your Owner’s Manual or applicable
supplement on the DVD for further details

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
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 service is required for your vehicle

Operating
conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow and 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)
