Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and remove the splash guard: then locate the oil drain plug (it is located at the rear of the sump) and unscrew it, collecting the used oil in a suitable tray. Next, replace the oil filter cartridge, which is located directly in front of the sump: unscrew it with a metal strap wrench and screw in the new one after lubricating the seal with oil (hand-tightening is sufficient).

Once the draining is complete, re-screw the sump plug and fill the engine with new oil according to the quantities and SAE specifications stated in the user and maintenance manual.

To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
