Oil Change Required
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. TheOil Change Duemessage will
display in the EVIC for five seconds after a single chime
has sounded at the start of each ignition that an oil
change is due. The engine oil change indicator system is

within 10 seconds.
3. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE

There is an ECO icon between the Compass and Outside
Temperature info at the top of the EVIC display. This icon
will appear whenever the Multi-Displacement System
(MDS) (if equipped) allows the engine to operate on four

driving habits in order to increase fuel economy. Press the

determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous

tank level. DTE cannot be reset through the SELECT
button.NOTE:

loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.

estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change
to a “LOW FUEL” message. This display will continue
until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a significant
amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the “LOW
FUEL” message and a new DTE value will display. Press
the BACK button to return to the main menu.Miles Per Gallon (MPG)
