OIL CHANGE RESET PROCEDURE - This procedure allows you to reset the oil monitoring system to 100% (or your Personalized Oil Reset Percentage) after each oil change. 1. 2. Press the VEHICLE SETTINGS control until the "OIL CHANGE RESET" display appears. Then press the RESET switch and hold it for 5 seconds while the display counts down to trigger an oil change reset. After a successful reset the Message Center will display "OIL LIFE RESET TO 100%". If you have established a Personalized Oil Reset Percentage, the display will show that percentage instead of 100%. To ensure accurate oil life indicators, perform this reset procedure only after an oil change. For more information on Personalized Oil Reset Percentage see the section on Personalized Oil Reset Percentage. GEAR DISPLAY DATA ERR - This warning message is displayed when the data used to provide the redundant gear selection display on the Instrument Cluster is missing or invalid. In this case, the Instrument cluster redundant gear selection display is turned off. The driver should use the mechanical position indication on the center console gear selector as temporary indication. If this warning stays on, contact your dealer for service as soon as safely possible. 3. 38
