WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES OIL CHANGE EVIC INDICATOR Message • If an "oil change" message (shown as "Change Oil Soon" and "Oil Change Needed") appears and a single chime sounds, it is time for your next required oil change. Resetting The Light After Servicing • Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start engine). • Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds. • Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position. HOTOIL - Transmission Temperature Warning Message • The HOTOIL cluster message will appear in the odometer accompanied with a chime to indicate that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. • It may also occur when operating the vehicle in a high torque converter slip condition, such as 4-wheel-drive operation (e.g., snow plowing, off-road operation). • If this HOTOIL message turns on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or faster, with the transmission in NEUTRAL until the message turns off. CAUTION! Continuous driving with the Transmission Temperature HOTOIL Warning message illuminated will eventually cause severe transmission damage and transmission failure. WARNING! Continued operation with the Transmission Temperature HOTOIL Warning message illuminated could cause the fluid to boil over, come into contact with the hot engine or exhaust components causing a fire that may result in personal injury. 95
