Pressing the RESET control cycles the message center through each of
the systems being monitored. If you don’t press any button, the system
will cycle itself.
The sequence of the system check report is as follows:
1. Oil life
2. Electric drive
3. Brake system
4. Liftgate and glass
5. DTE/Fuel level
Oil life
An oil change is required whenever indicated by the message center.
USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ENGINE OILS.
To reset the oil monitoring system to 100% after each oil change
(approximately 10,000 miles [16,000 km] or 12 months) perform the
following:
1. Press and release the SETUP
control to display “OIL LIFE =
XXX% HOLD RESET = NEW”.
2. Press and hold the RESET
control for 2 seconds and
release. Oil life is set to 100%
and “OIL LIFE SET TO 100%”
is displayed.
3. While “OIL LIFE SET TO 100%”
is displayed, if a lower oil life start value is desired, press and release
the RESET control to reduce the start value. Each press of the
RESET control reduces the value by 10 percent.
Note:
Oil life start value of 100% equals 10,000 miles [16,000 km] or 12
months. For example, setting oil life start value to 60% sets the oil life
start value to 6,000 miles (9,600 km) and 219 days.
