Default Oil Level Indicator Question

I can't get the in-dash oil level to indicate - following the instructions in the manual. I only get the single wrench icon and the miles to go.

Any problems? Any tips?

I was able to get the oil level to display. I had to hold down the indicator to get it to light up.

When engine is off, turn ignition to RUN, do not start.
Wait until the Oil Can symbol appears in the Trip Odometer display and the Clock symbol appears in the Odometer display - this may take 5 seconds or so. Then press the Trip Odometer reset twice and the oil level indication will appear in the Odometer display.

The Owners Manula doesn't make it clear that you have to wait a few seconds before the Oil Can and Clock appear before you can press the Trip Odometer reset twice.

If you press the reset more than twice, then 1 wrench will appear with the mileage remaining before A Service is required or 2 wrenches with the mileage before B service.

Default Oil level indicator

Make sure your oil is warmed up or it will not work. The book says to warm the engine up first. I thought mine didn't work. Finally I warmed the engine up an it worked fine. If all else fails read the instrunctions.

I read the instructions - it was the 5 second delay I wasn't waiting for.
