%CHANGE message displays
in the DIC, have the engine oil and filter changed within the next 1 000 km/600

be changed at least once a year and the oil life system must be reset. Your trained
dealer technician can perform this work. If the engine oil life system is reset
accidentally, service the vehicle within 5 000 km/ 3,000 mi since the last service.
Reset the oil life system when the oil is changed. See Engine Oil Life System.
