Oil Change Required
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The Oil Change Required message will
display in the EVIC display for approximately 10 sec-
onds, 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 or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position if
equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go. To turn off the
360 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

message temporarily, push and release the MENU but-
ton. To reset the oil change indicator system (after
performing the scheduled maintenance) refer to the fol-
lowing procedure.
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go
1. Without pushing the brake pedal, push the ENGINESTART/STOP button and cycle the ignition to the
ON/RUN position (do not start the engine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Without pushing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to return the ignition to the
OFF/LOCK position.
Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN 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 OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the engine, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat these steps.
Fuel Economy
Push and release the UP or DOWN button until “Fuel
Economy” displays highlighted in the EVIC and push the
RIGHT button. The following Fuel Economy functions
display in the EVIC:
• Average Fuel Economy (AVG)
• Distance To Empty (DTE)

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 361

Average Fuel Economy
Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset. The
Average Fuel Economy can be reset by following the
prompt in the EVIC to use the RIGHT button. When the
fuel economy is reset, the display will read “zero” for two
seconds. Then, the history information will be erased,
and the averaging will continue from the last fuel aver-
age reading before the reset.
Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous
and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel
tank level. DTE cannot be reset through the RIGHT arrow
button.
Average Fuel Economy Display
362 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

NOTE:Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.
When the DTE value is less than 30 miles (48 km)
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.
Current Fuel Economy (MPG or L/100 km)
This display shows the instantaneous MPG or L/100 km
in bar graph form while driving. This will monitor the
gas mileage in real-time as you drive and can be used to
modify driving habits in order to increase fuel economy.
Vehicle Speed
Push and release the UP or DOWN button until “Vehicle
Speed” displays highlighted in the EVIC and push the RIGHT arrow button. Push and release the RIGHT arrow

Compass / Temperature Display
The compass readings indicate the direction the vehicle is
facing. The EVIC will display eight or fifteen compass
readings and the outside temperature.
NOTE:The system will display the last known outside
temperature when starting the vehicle and may need to
be driven several minutes before the updated tempera-
ture is displayed. Engine temperature can also affect the
displayed temperature; therefore, temperature readings
are not updated when the vehicle is not moving.
Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the
need to manually reset the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the compass may appear erratic until it is calibrated.
You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or
more 360–degree turns (in an area free from large metal
or metallic objects). The compass will now function
normally. NOTE:
A good calibration requires a level surface and
an environment free from large metallic objects such as
buildings, bridges, underground cables, railroad tracks,
etc.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the CAL indicator
does not appear in the EVIC display, you must put the
compass into the Calibration Mode manually, as follows:
1. Turn ON the ignition switch.
2. Push and release the UP or DOWN button until the System Setup (Customer-Programmable Features)
menu is reached, then push and release the RIGHT
button.
3. Push and releasethe DOWN button until “Calibrate Compass” is displayed in the EVIC then push and
release the RIGHT button.
366 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

4. Push and release the RIGHT button to start thecalibration. The “CAL” indicator will be displayed in
the EVIC.
5. Complete one or more 360–degree turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the
“CAL” indicator turns off. The compass will now
function normally.
Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between Magnetic
North and Geographic North. To compensate for the
differences the variance should be set for the zone where
the vehicle is driven, per the zone map. Once properly
set, the compass will automatically compensate for the
differences, and provide the most accurate compass
heading. For the most accurate compass performance, the
compass must be set using the following steps. NOTE:
Keep magnetic materials away from the top of
the instrument panel, such as iPod’s, Mobile Phones,
Laptops and Radar Detectors. This is where the compass
module is located, and it can cause interference with the
compass sensor, and it may give false readings.
