MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

For infor mation on the maintenance procedures for your vehicle, please refer to “Maintenance

Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” on the USB card contained in your Owner’s Information

kit.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator

system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.

Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate in the

instrument cluster. This means that an engine oil and engine oil filter change is required for your

vehicle.Operating conditions such as frequent shor t-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient

temperatures, and E85 fuel usage will influence when the “Change Oil” or “Oil Change Required”

message is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate

as early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as

possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).

The Wrench Warning Light may appear in the cluster as a service reminder when vehicle

maintenance is required, according to the scheduled maintenance mileage. The maintenance

schedule intervals are set by the manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out may void your New

Vehicle War ranty.

NOTE:

The actual inter val for changing the oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle

usage conditions and is signalled by the warning light or message (if present) on the instr ument

panel or ever y 12 months.
