has sounded at the start of each ignition that an oil
change is due. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change

RUN position (Do not start the engine.)
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times
within 10 seconds.
3. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE
START/STOP button once to return the ignition to the
