Engine Oil Life System
The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life based

change.

2. Press the DIC information and reset buttons at the
same time to enter the personalization menu.
3. Press the information button until the DIC display
shows OIL-LIFE RESET.
4. Press and hold the reset button until the DIC
display shows ACKNOWLEDGED.
5. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.
