The Maintenance Minder indicator will also come on, and the maintenance item code(s) for other scheduled maintenance items needing service will be displayed below the engine oil life indicator.

 The 15 and 10 percent oil life indicators remind you that your vehicle will soon be due for scheduled maintenance.

 

 

When the remaining engine oil life is 5 to 1 percent, you will see a ‘‘SERVICE’’ message along with the same maintenance item code(s), every time you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. 

 

The maintenance item code or codes indicate the main and sub items required at the time of the oil change. 

You can switch the information display from the engine oil life display to the odometer or the average fuel mileage, press and release the select/reset knob on the instrument panel.
