Engine Oil Change Indicator System
Oil Change Due
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change
Due” 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 indica-
tor 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 but-
ton. To reset the oil change indicator system
(after performing the scheduled maintenance)
refer to the following procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON 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 vehicle, the oil change indica-
tor system did not reset. If necessary, repeat
this procedure.

information:
Average Fuel Economy / Fuel Saver
Mode — If Equipped

two seconds. Then, the history information will
be erased, and the averaging will continue from
the last fuel average reading before the reset.

The FUEL SAVER MODE message will display
above the average fuel economy in the EVIC
display. This message will appear whenever
MDS (if equipped) allows the engine to operate
on four cylinders, or if you are driving in a fuel
efficient manner.
This feature allows you to monitor when you are
driving in a fuel efficient manner, and it can be
used to modify driving habits in order to in-
crease fuel economy.
Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be
traveled with the fuel remaining in the tank. Thisestimated 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
SELECT button.
NOTE:
Significant changes in driving style or ve-
hicle 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.

“Vehicle Speed” displays highlighted in the
EVIC and press the SELECT button. Press the
SELECT button to display the current speed in
