How to Reset the Change Oil Light

After changing the engine oil, you must reset the

system. To reset the system, you must do the following:

1. With the ignition key to ON, push the RESET button

located in the driver’s side instrument panel fuse block.

2. When the CHANGE OIL light starts to flash, press

and hold the RESET button again.

The reset is complete when you hear the chimes

sound and the CHANGE OIL light goes out.

What to Do with Used Oil

Did you know that used engine oil contains certain elements

that may be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause

cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin for very long.

Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good hand

cleaner. Wash or properly throw away clothing or rags

containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer’s warnings

about the use and disposal of oil products.

Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you

change your own oil, be sure to drain all free

-flowing oil

from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of oil by

putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into

sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle

it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have

a problem properly disposing of your used oil, ask your

dealer, a service station or a local recycling center for help.

Engine Air Cleaner/Filter

The engine air cleaner/filter is located on the driver’s

side of the engine compartment. See “Engine

Compartment Overview” in the Index for more

information on location.

To check or replace the engine air cleaner/filter, do

the following:

1. Remove the screws that hold the cover on.

2. Lift off the cover.

3. Check or replace the engine air cleaner/filter and put

the cover back on tightly.
