Tire Pressure Monitor
Resetting the Engine
Oil Life System
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.
You may also have a CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE message appear on the
DIC (if equipped).
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you must fill the tire to the
proper tire inflation pressure (just as you
must refuel the vehicle when the low
fuel warning light illuminates). The Tire
and Loading Information label 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 mes-
sage by acknowledging it with your DIC
controls. However, at the next vehicle
start-up, the DIC message will reappear if
the tire pressure has not been corrected.
During cooler conditions, the low tire
pressure warning light may 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.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
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 nec-
essary to change your engine oil and fil-
ter. The Oil Life System should be reset
to 100% only following an oil change.
To reset the Oil Life System using the DIC:
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.
To reset the Oil Life System without the
DIC:
1. Turn on the ignition, with the engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelera-
tor pedal slowly three times within
five seconds.
3. If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL mes-
sage flashes, the system is reset;
otherwise, repeat the procedure.
4. Turn off the ignition.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Note:
The Tire Pressure Monitor can
alert you about low tire pressure, but it
doesn’t replace normal monthly tire
maintenance.
Refueling the Vehicle
To open the fuel door, press the center-
rear edge of the door and it will pop open
slightly. Pull the door to open it fully.
When closing the fuel door, press the
rear edge of the door until it latches and
is flush with the side of the vehicle.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
