Resetting the “Change Oil
Soon” Light
Your VUE has a light in the lower-right
corner of the instrument cluster that is
shaped like an oilcan. This is the
Change Oil Soon Light. It is controlled
by a computer system that measures oil
life, based on engine revolutions and
engine temperature. When the light
comes on, change your oil as soon as
possible, preferably within the next few
times that you stop for fuel.
After changing the oil, you need to reset
the system. You can do so by following
these steps:
1. Turn the ignition key to the Run
position, but don’t start the engine.
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal
three times within five seconds.
The next time you turn the key to the
Run position, the light should go off.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label
(located on the rear edge of the driver’s
door) provides you with information
about the size, speed rating and recom-
mended inflation pressure for your
VUE’s tires. Overinflated tires can pro-
duce a harsh ride, while underinflated
tires can reduce fuel economy and pro-
mote tire wear.
Both overinflated and underinflated tires
can affect the handling characteristics of
your vehicle.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Fold-Down Passenger Seatback
Your vehicle is equipped with a fold-flat
front passenger seatback to help you
carry extra-long items. To fold the seat-
back flat, lift the bar under the front seat
to unlock it. Slide the seat to the rear-
most position; then release the bar.
Next, lift the recliner lever, located on
the outside of the seat, and fold the
seat forward until it locks into a folded
position.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Fold-Down Rear Seats
The VUE’s reclining and folding rear
seats provide added comfort and
increased flexibility — a valuable feature
for camping trips or when you are carry-
ing cargo.
The rear split-bench seatbacks have
three available positions:
• Folded forward
• Upright
• Partially reclined
