MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil
change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illumi-
nate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such
as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and
E85 fuel usage will influence when the “Change Oil” message is displayed. Severe
operating conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as
3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as pos-
sible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing
the scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other
than your authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps de-
scribed under “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” in your Owners Manual on the DVD for further information.
NOTE:Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) ortwelve months, whichever comes first.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and
off road environment. This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
Check engine oil level
Check windshield washer fluid level
Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir and brake master cylinder as needed
Check function of all interior and exterior lights
