Engine Oil Change When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL
SOON message displays, have the
engine oil and filter changed within
the next 1 000 km/600 mi. If driven
under the best conditions, the
engine oil life system may not
indicate the need for vehicle service
for up to a year. The engine oil and filter must be changed at least once
a year and the oil life system must
be reset. Your trained dealer
technician can perform this work.
If the engine oil life system is reset
accidentally, service the vehicle
within 5 000 km/3,000 mi since the
last service. Reset the oil life
system when the oil is changed.

Passenger Compartment Air
Filter The passenger compartment air
filter removes dust, pollen, and
other airborne irritants from outside
air that is pulled into the vehicle.
The filter should be replaced as part
of routine scheduled maintenance.
Inspect the passenger compartment
air filter every 36 000 km/
22,500 miles or two years,
whichever comes first. Replace if
necessary. More frequent
replacement may be needed if the
vehicle is driven in areas with heavy
traffic, areas with poor air quality,
or areas with high dust levels. Replacement may also be needed if
there is a reduction in air flow,
excessive window fogging, or odors.
Extended Idle Use When the vehicle is used in a way
that requires extended idle time,
one hour of use shall be deemed
the same as 53 km (33 mi).

investment and caring for it properly
may help to avoid future costly
repairs. To maintain vehicle

maintenance services may be
required.

trained dealer technicians know
your vehicle best. Your dealer can
also perform a thorough
assessment with a multi-point
inspection to recommend when your
vehicle may need attention.
The following list is intended to
explain the services and conditions
to look for that may indicate
services are required.

to start the engine and operate any
additional electrical accessories. .

start the vehicle, maintain a
battery with full cranking power.

the diagnostic equipment to test
the battery and ensure that the
connections and cables are
corrosion-free.

squeak or show signs of
cracking or splitting.

Trained dealer technicians have
access to tools and equipment
to inspect the belts and
recommend adjustment or
replacement when necessary.

crucial to safe driving.

chirping, grinding, or squealing
noises, or difficulty stopping. .

access to tools and equipment
to inspect the brakes and
recommend quality parts

fluids protect the vehicle ’ s systems
and components. See
