OIL LIFE
To access this display, the vehicle must be in PARK (P).
Press the trip odometer reset stem until OIL LIFE
REMAINING displays. This display shows an estimate
of the oil’s remaining useful life. If you see 99% OIL LIFE
REMAINING on the display, that means 99% of the
current oil life remains. The engine oil life system
will alert you to change the oil on a schedule consistent
with your driving conditions.
When the remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE ENGINE
OIL SOON message will appear on the display. See
“CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON” under DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-64. You should change the oil as
soon as you can. See Engine Oil on page 5-13.In
addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the oil life,
additional maintenance is recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule in this manual. See Scheduled
Maintenance on page 6-4 for more information.
Remember, you must reset the OIL LIFE display
yourself after each oil change. It will not reset itself.
Also, be careful not to reset the OIL LIFE display
accidentally at any time other than when the oil has just
been changed. It cannot be reset accurately until the
next oil change. To reset the engine oil life system,
see Engine Oil Life System on page 5-16.
PARK ASSIST
To access this display, the vehicle must be in PARK (P).
If your vehicle has the Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA) system, press the trip odometer reset stem
until PARK ASSIST displays. This display allows
the system to be turned on or off. Once in this display,
press and hold the trip odometer reset stem to select
between ON or OFF. If you choose ON, the system will
be turned on. If you choose OFF, the system will be
turned off. The URPA system automatically turns back
on after each vehicle start. When the URPA system
is turned off and the vehicle is shifted out of PARK (P),
the DIC will display the PARK ASSIST OFF message
as a reminder that the system has been turned off.
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-64 and
Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) on page 2-44
for more information.
