OIL LIFE
Press the information button until OIL LIFE is displayed.
The engine oil life system shows an estimate of the
oil’s remaining useful life. It will show 100% when the
system is reset after an oil change. It will alert you
to change your oil on a schedule consistent with your
driving conditions.
In addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the
oil life, additional maintenance is recommended in
the Maintenance Schedule in this manual. See Engine
Oil on page 5-13 and Part A: Scheduled Maintenance
Services on page 6-4.
Always reset the engine oil life system after an oil
change. See “How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System” under Engine Oil Life System on page 5-16
and “OIL–LIFE RESET” under DIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-40.
COOLANT
Press the information button until COOLANT is
displayed. This mode shows the temperature of the
engine coolant in either degrees Fahrenheit (°F)
or degrees Celsius (°C).
DIC Warnings and Messages
These warning messages will appear in the DIC display
if there is a problem detected in one of your vehicle’s

will sound when the message is displayed.
The messages will clear from the display when the
condition no longer exists. You can also acknowledge
and clear some messages from the display by pressing
and holding either the reset or information buttons.
The message will come back on the next time the
vehicle is turned off and back on if the condition still
exists. Your vehicle may have other warning messages.
