SCHEDULED ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator system will remind you that your vehicle needs to be taken in for scheduled maintenance.

Depending on engine operating conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This message indicates that your vehicle needs service. Operating conditions such as frequent short trips, towing a trailer, or very hot or cold ambient temperatures will affect when the "Oil Change Required" message is displayed. Service your vehicle as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).

An authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the scheduled oil change. If the scheduled oil change is performed by anyone other than an authorized dealer, the message must be reset.

NOTE:

Never exceed oil change intervals of 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months, whichever occurs first.

Engine Oil Filter Replacement

Residual oil in the housing may leak out of the housing when installing a new filter if the residual oil is not removed from the housing or if sufficient time has not passed to allow the oil to drain back into the engine. When servicing the oil filter on this engine, carefully remove the filter and use a suction gun to remove the residual oil remaining in the housing, or wait approximately 30 minutes for the oil to drain back into the engine.

Once a month or before a long trip:

• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the windshield washer fluid level.
• Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.
• Check the coolant reservoir level, brake master cylinder, and top off as necessary.
• Check the operation of all interior and exterior lights.
