part of the system. Press and hold
the button for five seconds to turn
off the traction control and stability
enhancement systems. When the
system is turned off, the StabiliTrak
indicator light will illuminate in the
instrument panel cluster.
Press the
button again to turn the
system back on.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR
The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you
when a significant reduction in
pressure occurs in one or more of
your vehicle’s tires by illuminating the
(Low Tire Pressure) warning light
on the instrument panel. The low tire
pressure warning light will remain on
until you correct the tire pressure. A
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message may
also appear on the DIC.
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates, you must fill the tire
to the proper tire inflation pressure.
The Tire and Loading Information
label on the driver’s door shows the
correct inflation pressure for the tires
when they’re cold. “Cold” means
your vehicle has been sitting for at
least three hours or driven no more
than one mile.
You can temporarily remove the DIC
message by acknowledging it with
your DIC controls. However, at the
next vehicle startup, the DIC
message will reappear if the tire
pressure has not been corrected.
You may notice during cooler
conditions that the low tire pressure
warning light will appear when the
vehicle is first started and then turn
off as you start to drive the vehicle.
This could be an early indicator that
your tire pressures are getting low
and need to be inflated to the proper
pressure.
RESETTING THE ENGINE OIL LIFE
SYSTEM
The Oil Life System calculates engine
oil life based on vehicle use and
displays CHANGE ENGINE OIL in the
Driver Information Center (DIC) when
it’s necessary to change your engine
oil and filter. The Oil Life System
should be reset to 100% only
following an oil change.
To reset the Oil Life System:
1. Turn on the ignition.
2. Press the
(Vehicle
Information) button until the DIC
displays OIL LIFE REMAINING.
3. Press and hold the
(Set/Reset)
button until 100% is displayed.
4. Turn off the ignition.
Refer to your Owner Manual for
additional information.
Note:
The Tire Pressure Monitor can alert
you about low tire pressure, but it doesn’t
replace normal monthly tire maintenance.
