See Driver Information Center (DIC) (Base Level) 0 134 or Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel) 0 137. When remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will appear on the display.
- Press V on the DIC controls and hold down for a few seconds to clear the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message and reset the oil life at 100%.
You’ll know it worked: The system is reset when the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message is off and the REMAINING OIL LIFE message is displayed.
