Oil Change Required
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The ªOil Change Requiredº message
will flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10
seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the
next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change
indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon
your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and
release the Menu button. To reset the oil change indicator
system (after performing the scheduled maintenance)
perform the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ªONº position (Do not
start the engine).2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times
within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ªLOCKº position.
NOTE:If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary repeat this procedure.
NOTE:
²The oil change indicator system will not monitor the
time since the last oil change. Change the engine oil if
it has been 6 months since your last oil change even if
the oil change indicator message is NOT illuminated.
²Change the engine oil more often if you drive your
vehicle off-road for an extended period.
²Under no circumstances should oil change intervals
exceed 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or 6 months, whichever
comes first.

Compass Display Ð If Equipped
This display provides one of eight compass readings to
indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating which eliminates the
need to manually calibrate the compass. When the ve-
hicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the
EVIC will display ªCOMPASS CALIBRATINGº until the
compass is calibrated. The compass will function nor-
mally.
To calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle in one or more
complete 360É circles, under 5 mph (8 km/h) in an area
free from large metal objects, until the ªCOMPASS CALI-
BRATINGº message turns off.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic, inaccurate or abnormal,
you may wish to manually calibrate the compass. Prior to
calibration, make sure the proper zone is selected.To put into a Calibration Mode:Turn on the ignition
switch and set the display to Compass. Press the RESET
button for at least 10 seconds until the ªCOMPASS
CALIBRATINGº message appears. Release the MENU
button and drive the vehicle in one or more complete
three, 360É circles, under 5 mph (8 km/h) in an area free
from large metal objects, until the ªCOMPASS CALI-
BRATINGº message turns off.
Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between magnetic
North and Geographic North. In some areas of the
country, the difference between magnetic and geographic
North is great enough to cause the compass to give false
readings. In order to ensure accuracy, the compass vari-
ance should be properly set according to the compass
variance zone that the vehicle is in.
