Oil change indicator lightThis indicator light comes on at the
initial 1,000 km and every 3,000 km
thereafter to indicate that the engine
oil should be changed.
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator light
must be reset after the oil change for
the next periodic oil change to be
indicated at the correct time. (See
page 6-17 for the resetting proce-
dure.)
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked according to the
following procedure.

and turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the indicator comes
on for a few seconds and then
