OIL CONTROL SYSTEM
(where fitted)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, en-
gine oil information is displayed.
Engine oil information informs the distance to oil
change, oil level indication and malfunction of oil
level sensor.
1. Distance to oil change
The distance to oil change is displayed if the dis-
tance to oil change is less than 1,500 km (930 miles).
2. Oil replacement indicator
When the set mileage approaches, the engine oil
replacement indicator will appear on the display. Af-
ter the oil is changed, reset the distance to oil
change. The oil replacement indicator will not be
reset automatically. To reset this indicator, see
“Settings” earlier in this section.
The distance to oil change interval cannot be ad-
justed manually. The distance to oil change interval
is set automatically.
CAUTION
•
If the oil replacement indicator is displayed,
change the engine oil as soon as possible. Op-
erating your vehicle with deteriorated oil can
damage the engine.
•
Never perform reset if the engine oil was not
changed. Always visit an approved dealer or
qualified workshop to perform the engine oil
change including an oil filter change and the
reset.
NOTE
•
It is not possible to undo the reset.
•
Resetting the oil change distance is only pos-
sible when:
– The distance to oil change is displayed in
the vehicle information display.
– The oil replacement indicator is displayed
in the vehicle information display.
•
The engine oil should be changed before the
distance to oil change reaches 0 km (0 miles).
Continued driving after the distance to oil
change reaches 0 km (0 miles) may result in
reduced engine performance.
•
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) may also be-
come saturated because regeneration is re-
stricted once the distance to oil change
reaches 0 km (0 miles).
Have the vehicle inspected by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop if the above con-
dition occurs.
•
The oil change interval will reduce faster with
certain types of driving, especially at low
speeds in urban conditions.
3. Low level reminder
If the low level indicator is displayed, the engine oil
level is low. If the low level reminder is displayed,
check the level using the engine oil dipstick. (See
“Checking engine oil level” in the “8. Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section.)
CAUTION
The oil level should be checked regularly using
the engine oil dipstick. Operating with an insuffi-
cient amount of oil can damage the engine and
such damage is not covered by the warranty.
