While using
the TAPshift
feature, the
transaxle will
have firmer
shifting and sportier performance. The
transaxle will allow you to shift only into
gears appropriate for the vehicle speed
and engine revolutions per minute (rpm).
While driving in the manual mode, the
transaxle will remain in the driver-select-
ed gear unless a shift is required to
protect the engine or transmission. If the
vehicle slows almost to a stop, an auto-
matic downshift will occur.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
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 instru-
ment panel. The low tire pressure warn-
ing light will remain on until you correct
the tire pressure.
You may also have a CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE message 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, located
on the center pillar below the driver’s
door latch, shows the correct inflation
pressure for the tires when they’re cold.
“Cold” means your vehicle has been sit-
ting for at least three hours or driven no
more than one mile.
You can temporarily remove the DIC
message by acknowledging it with your
Resetting the Oil Life System
The Oil Life System calculates engine
oil life based on vehicle use and displays
CHANGE OIL SOON in the Driver

to 100% only following an oil change.
To reset the Oil Life System:
1. Turn on the ignition.
2. Press and hold the
(Information)
button and the (Reset) button at
the same time to enter the personal-
ization menu.
3. Oil Life Reset will be displayed.
4. Press and hold the button for at
least one second. An ACKNOWL-
EDGED message will appear when
the system has been reset.
5. Turn off the ignition.

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 get-
ting low and need to be inflated to the
proper pressure.
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.
