GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS D Low Engine Oil Level Warning D Engine Oil Maintenance Reset Warning (U.S.A. only) G13022 G13033 When the engine oil level is too low, the master warning light comes on, a warning tone sounds, and the above message appears. Add oil as soon as possible. (For instructions, see "Checking the engine oil level" on page 522.) While driving on steep inclines or rough roads which causes the vehicle to substantially sway or on curves, this message may appear due to the movement of engine oil in the engine. In normal conditions, due to engine oil consumption, this message may appear earlier than the specified service interval of the scheduled maintenance. This is because the engine oil is consumed to the low level within the scheduled maintenance interval and does not indicate a problem. (For detailed information, see "Facts about engine oil consumption" on page 520.) This message indicates that the engine oil maintenance data has been reset. After replacing the engine oil, be sure to reset the maintenance data. To reset the data, perform the following operations: 1. Push the "ODO TRIP" switch in the switch box to change the display to blank. 2. Turn the engine switch off. 3. Turn the engine switch on with the trip meter "RESET" switch held down. 4. Keep pushing the "RESET" switch for longer than 7 seconds after the engine switch is turned on. After the above operation, the master warning light comes on, a warning tone sounds and the above message appears to inform you that the engine oil maintenance data has been reset. NOTICE Continued engine operation with low engine oil will damage the engine. 87
