forth from English (miles) to metric (kilometers) by
pressing this button.
Speedometer ar Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(km/h). The
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has to have a
new odometer installed. The new one may read the
correct mileage. This is because your vehicle’s computer
has stored the mileage in memory.

This feature lets you know when to change the engine
oil. It's based on the engine oil temperatures and your
driving patterns.
To see the display, press the
INFORMATION (INFO) button until
XX OIL LIFE
LEFT appears.
If you see 99% OIL LIFE LEFT,
99 percent of your current oil life remains. The Driver Information Center
(DIC) may display a
CHANGE
ENGINE OIL message. Always keep a
written record of the mileage and date when
you
changed your oil. For more information, see the
Maintenance Schedule booklet. If you see CHANGE
ENGINE
OIL, it means that you have less than
10 percent of the oil life left and you should consider
changing your engine oil.
The system should indicate changing the oil between
3,000 miles (5 000
km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km).
It may indicate changing the oil before 3,000 miles
(5 000
km) depending on your driving habits. If the
vehicle has been driven 7,500 miles
(12 500 km), it will
indicate to change the oil. If you drive in a dusty area, you
should change your
oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 krn) or
three months (whichever comes first) unless the display indicates changing it sooner. The system doesn't check
how much oil you have, so you'll still have to check for
that. To see how,
see "Engine Oil" in the Index. '
When the oil is changed, you'll need to reset the system.
To reset, display the Oil Life Indicator by pressing the
INFORMATION
(INFO) button. Then press and hold
the RESET button until the display shows
100% OIL
LIFE LEFT.
