GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
Secondary Method For Oil Life Reset Procedure
1. Without pushing the brake pedal, place the
ignition in the ON/RUN position (do not
start the engine).
2. Fully press the accelerator pedal, slowly,
three times within 10 seconds.
3. Without pushing the brake pedal, place the
ignition in the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when you

Since it is possible to operate this vehicle for
extended periods of time without running the gas
engine, the fuel within the vehicle’s fuel tank can
become stale or the engine oil’s lubricating
properties can be reduced. To prevent engine
and/or fuel system damage due to stale fuel, as
well as maintaining internal engine lubrication,
this vehicle is equipped with a Fuel and Oil
Refresh Mode.
The vehicle will automatically enter into the Fuel
and Oil Refresh Mode to minimize potential for
stale fuel, and to ensure lubrication of internal
engine components. When operating in this
mode, the gas engine will run to provide vehicle
propulsion (electric only operation is inhibited).
A message will be displayed in the instrument
cluster whenever Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode is
active.
The vehicle will automatically exit the Fuel and
Oil Refresh Mode when conditions have been
satisfied. If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil
Refresh Mode, due to fuel which has been in the
fuel tank for a long period of time (becoming stale
fuel), the engine will run whenever the vehicle is
operational (no electric only operation) until the
low fuel level warning is activated. It is also
possible to exit the Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode
sooner by adding a minimum of four gallons of
new fuel to the vehicle’s fuel tank.
NOTE:
If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode
to maintain engine lubrication, adding fuel will
not exit the mode sooner.
If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode
to maintain engine lubrication properties, the
engine may run for a period of up to 20 minutes
when fully warm whenever the vehicle is
operational (no electric only operation). If the
vehicle is shut down before conditions to exit
the refresh mode have been satisfied, the
engine may run for additional time on
subsequent trips.
NOTE:
Frequent short trips at low ambient tempera
-
ture conditions are more likely to trigger the
lubrication based mode.
