Press button again and hold for
approx. 5 seconds until "Reset" or
"Re" flash.
While display is flashing, press
button briefly to reset SII.
After display has shown new
interval, the following will appear
in display for approx. 2 seconds:
"End SIA".
The system can only be reset again
after the vehicle has been driven
approx. 50 to 75 miles (consumes at
least 2.5 gal. fuel). If the display shows
"Reset" or "Re" when resetting, the
minimum driving distance has been
fulfilled and the system can be reset
again. It is possible to interrupt and
end the reset procedure by changing
the position of the ignition key.
Inspection I and Inspection II
The Service Interval Indicator signals
the need for more comprehensive
maintenance and inspection. There are
two sets of inspection requirements.
These inspections alternate throughout
a car's maintenance history. If the last
inspection interval was Inspection I, the
next inspection interval (following an oil
service) will be Inspection II, the next
after that will be Inspection I, and so
on.
Inspection I tasks are listed in Table
b. Inspection II includes most of the
tasks from Inspection I with additional
Inspection II tasks. A complete listing of
Inspection II tasks is in Table c.
