How to Reset the Engine Oil
Life System
Reset the system whenever the
engine oil is changed so that the
system can calculate the next
engine oil change. Always reset the
engine oil life to 100% after each oil
change. It will not reset itself. To
reset the system:
Base Level Cluster
1. Press the MENU button to
show Remaining Oil Life on the
display. This display shows an
estimate of the oil
’
s remaining
useful life. If 99% is displayed,
that means that 99% of the
current oil life remains.
2. To reset the engine oil life
system, press the SET/CLR
button while the oil life display
is active. After a few seconds,
the oil life will be reset to
100%. Be careful not to reset
the oil life display accidentally
at any time other than after the
oil is changed. It cannot be
reset accurately.
If the
:
% CHANGE message in
the DIC comes back on when the
vehicle is started, the engine oil life
system has not reset. Repeat the
procedure.
Uplevel Cluster
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN
with the engine off.
2. Press the DIC MENU button on

3. Press the SET/CLR button to
reset the oil life at 100%.
4. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF.
The system is reset when the
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message is off and the REMAINING
OIL LIFE 100% message is
displayed. If the CHANGE ENGINE

when the vehicle is started, the
engine oil life system has not been
reset. Repeat the procedure.

How to Check Automatic
Transmission Fluid
It is not necessary to check the
transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the only
reason for fluid loss. If a leak
occurs, take the vehicle to your
dealer and have it repaired as soon
as possible.
There is a special procedure for
checking and changing the
transmission fluid. Because this
procedure is difficult, you should
have this done at your dealer.
