Press and hold the
Range and Fuel Used
buttons to display the
oil life percentage.
You’ll
see how much oil life you have left, as a percentage. So if you see
“94” for example, that means that the way you’re driving your vehicle,
94%
of your current oil life is still left.
The
“CHANGE OIL SOON” light will come on for a few seconds as a
bulb check when you start your engine. The light will also come on for
20
seconds following engine start-up when either the oil life percentage is
less the
10% or 7,500 miles (12500 km) have been driven. The system
probably will say to change the oil between
3000 miles (5000 km) and
7500 miles (12500 km), but it may even say to change it before 3000 miles
under severe conditions. It all depends on your driving patterns.
(If it
doesn’t,
or if it doesn’t even light up, then something is wrong. You will
need to have it serviced.)
There
are two things the system won’t do: It can’t sense heavy dust in the
places where you drive.
If you drive in a dusty area, you should change
your oil every
3000 miles (5000 km) or 3 months (whichever comes first),
unless the “CHANGE OIL SOON” light comes on sooner.
It doesn’t check how much oil you have
so you will still have to check for
that.
To check it, see the Index under “Engine Oil.”
When You’ve Changed the Oil
When new oil is put in, you’ll need to reset your system. To do that, press
and hold the “Range” and “Reset” buttons between
5 and 60 seconds.
