After changing the engine oil, the system must be reset. To reset the oil life system, use the following procedure: 1. Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine off. 2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal slowly three times within five seconds. When the reset is complete, the CHANGE OIL SOON message can be cleared as described under CHANGE OIL SOON message. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-40. 3. Turn the ignition to OFF. If the CHANGE OIL SOON message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure. Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from the filter before disposal. Never 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 What to Do with Used Oil Used engine oil contains certain elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer. Do not 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 dispose of clothing or rags containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal of oil products. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12 for the location of the engine air cleaner/filter. 5-17
