SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING — GASOLINE
ENGINE
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
ch
ange indicator message will illuminate. This
means that service is required for your vehicle.
Operating conditions such as frequent
short-trips, trailer tow, or extremely hot or cold
ambient temperatures will influence when the
“Change Oil” or “Oil Change Required” message
is displayed. Have your vehicle serviced as soon
as possible, within the next 500
miles
(8
05 km).
On vehicles equipped with an instrument
clu
ster display, “Oil Change Required” will be
displayed and a single chime will sound,
indicating that an oil change is necessary.
On vehicles not equipped with an instrument
clu
ster display, “Change Oil” will flash in the
instrument cluster odometer and a single chime
will sound, indicating that an oil change is
necessary.
An authorized dealer will reset the oil change
in
dicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change. To reset the system
follow the steps described
Ú page 116.

Under no circumstances should oil change
in
tervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km),
12
