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
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. Press the (Information) button
until the DIC displays OIL LIFE
RESET.
2. Press and hold the (Reset/Set)
button for at least one second.
3. An ACKNOWLEDGED message will
display when the system resets.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Securing the Fuel Cap
If the Check Gas Cap message is dis-
played on the Driver Information Center
when the engine is running, check that
your fuel cap is securely fastened. If the
cap is not secure, turn it clockwise until
a clicking sound is heard, indicating that
it is properly installed.
The Check Gas Cap message will turn
off after a few driving trips with the cap
properly installed.
See Section 3 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 instrument
panel cluster. 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 Driver
Information Center (DIC) (if equipped).
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you must fill the tire to the
proper 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 clear the DIC
message 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.
Note: The Tire Pressure Monitor can
alert you about low tire pressure, but it
doesn’t replace normal monthly tire
maintenance.
