Chevrolet CAPTIVA - S User manual

Chevrolet Captiva
Model Introduction Training For
Approved Motor Body Repairers

The new Captiva is the first product to be designed and developed
by Chevrolet for the European market.
Its sleek yet bold design is accentuated by strong wheel arches and
a sweeping feature line that runs from the front fender vent through
to the tail lamps. The wide tailgate with its integrated opening win-
dow underlines the practical side of the Captiva.
Value for money to the customer is key yet levels of specification are
comprehensive on all derivatives, i.e front and curtain airbags are
standard across the range.

Diagnostic Link Connector
The Diagnostic Link Connector is located under the
instrument panel near to the A-column at the driver
side.
Engine oil life system
The vehicle engine oil life system informs when to
change the engine oil. Based on driving conditions,
the mileage at which an oil change will be indi-
cated can vary considerably. For the oil life system
to work properly, reset the system every time the
oil is changed.
Resetting the Engine Oil Life System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to
change the engine oil and filter based on vehicle
use. Anytime the engine oil is changed, reset the
system so it can calculate when the next oil
change is required. To reset the Engine Oil Life
System, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON with the engine
OFF.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal
three times within five seconds.
3. Turn the key to LOCK.
