If the indicated maintenance is not done, the "SERVICE PAST DUE" message shows a negative mileage, for example "-10," on the display. If the negative mileage is between 0 and -9, the message is displayed for only a few seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON (II) position. The negative mileage (A) remains displayed after the vehicle is driven more than 10 miles (for USA models) or 10 km (for Canada models) after 0 % oil life is reached, and the display cannot be cancelled. This means the indicated maintenance item(s) should have been done more than 10 miles (or 10 km) ago.
