BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW - 6: This message
will appear when the electrical system is charging less
than 10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this
message appears immediately after starting, it is
possible that the generator can still recharge the battery.
The battery should recharge while driving but may take a
few hours to do so. Consider using an auxiliary charger
(be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions) to
boost the battery after returning home or to a final
destination. If this message appears while driving or
after starting your vehicle and stays on, have it checked
immediately to determine the cause of this problem.
To help the generator recharge the battery quickly, you
can reduce the load on the electrical system by turning off
the accessories. You can monitor battery voltage on the
DIC by pressing the INFO button. The normal range
is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL
- 82: This means that the
life of the engine oil has expired and it should be
changed within 200 miles. See ªEngine Oilº and
ªFilter Recommendationsº in the Maintenance Schedule
booklet. After an oil change, the Oil Life Indicator must
be reset. See ªOil Life Indicator, How to Resetº in
the Index.CHANGE TRANS FLUID
- 47: This message will
appear when it is time to replace the transaxle fluid. See
the Maintenance Schedule booklet for the proper fluid
and change intervals.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID
- 37: This message will
display if the ignition is in ON to inform the driver that
the brake fluid level is low. Have the brake system
serviced by a technician as soon as possible. See ªBrake
System Warning Lightº in the Index.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL
- 2: This message
will appear when there is a low level of engine coolant.
Have the cooling system serviced by a technician as
soon as possible.
CHECK FUEL GAGE
- 50: (Analog Cluster Only)
This message will appear when the fuel supply is less
than 5 gallons (18.9 L) and the display is turned off.
A single chime will also sound when this message
is displayed.
CHECK GAS CAP
- 61: This message will appear if
the gas cap has not been fully tightened. You should
recheck your gas cap to ensure that it's fully tightened.

2-114
The DIC may display a CHANGE ENGINE OIL
message. Always keep a written record of the mileage
and date when you changed your oil. For more
information, see the Maintenance Schedule booklet.
If you see CHANGE ENGINE OIL, it means the
oil life is gone and you should change the oil right away.
The system doesn't check how much oil you have,
so you'll still have to check for that. To see how,
see ªEngine Oilº in the Index.
When the oil is changed, you'll need to reset the system.
See ªOil Life Indicator, How to Resetº in the Index.Night Vision System (Option)
The Night Vision System can help you see better when
you drive at night. The system works by sensing heat
given off by objects in its field of view. Warmer objects,
such as pedestrians, animals and other moving vehicles,
will appear whiter. Colder objects, such as the sky, signs
and parked vehicles, will appear darker.

6-23 How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle fluid to use. See ªRecommended
Fluids and Lubricantsº in the Maintenance
Schedule booklet.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level into the cross
-hatched area on
the dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long
-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the
dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.
It doesn't take much fluid, generally less than
one pint (0.5 L). Don't overfill.
NOTICE:
We recommend you use only fluid labeled
DEXRON
-III, because fluid with that label is
made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid other than
DEXRON

-III is not covered by your new
vehicle warranty.
3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under ªHow to Check.º
4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push
the dipstick back in all the way and turn the
handle clockwise.
How to Reset the Transaxle Fluid
Change Indicator
After the transaxle fluid has been changed, display the
transaxle FLUID LIFE message by pressing the INFO
button. Then press and hold the INFO RESET button
until the display shows ª100º. This resets the transaxle
fluid life index. The percentage of transaxle fluid life
remaining may be checked at any time by pressing the
INFO button several times until the transaxle FLUID
LIFE message appears.

Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
If the TPM system detects low tire pressure, below
24 psi (165 kPa), or high tire pressure, above 36 psi
(248 kPa), a message, CHECK TIRE PRESSURE, will
appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display.
By pressing the INFO button, the DIC screen will show
which tire(s) has the low or high pressure condition.
See ªInflation
-- Tire Pressureº in the Index for
information regarding correct tire inflation. If a tire is
low, you should stop as soon as possible and check all
your tires for damage. If a tire is flat, see ªIf a Tire
Goes Flatº in the Index.
NOTICE:
Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle is equipped
with Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid sealant
can damage the tire pressure monitor sensors.
Once a low or high tire pressure condition is detected,
the TPM system will display the CHECK TIRE
MESSAGE each time the engine is started, until the
tire(s) are set to the correct inflation pressure. The Certification/Tire Label, which is located on the
rear edge of the driver's side rear door, shows the
correct inflation pressure for the tires on your vehicle.
The TPM system also allows the driver to check the
air pressure status of each road tire using the Driver
Information Center (DIC). Each tire's air pressure will be
listed individually, in the following order: LF (left front
or driver's side front tire), RF (right front or passenger's
side front tire), RR (right rear or passenger's side
rear tire) and LR (left rear or driver's side rear tire).
See ªInflation
-- Tire Pressureº in the Index for
information regarding correct tire inflation. Also, see
ªDriver Information Center (DIC)º in the Index for
information on the DIC controls and displays.
If the DIC display doesn't show tire pressures or the
SERVICE TPM SYSTEM message appears, see your
dealer for service. The TPM system may not work
properly while the compact spare tire is installed.
Anytime you replace one or more tires or rotate your
tires the TPM system will need to be reset. A special
tool is needed to reset the sensor identification codes.
See your dealer for service.
The TPM system can alert you about a low or high
tire pressure condition, but it doesn't replace normal
tire maintenance. See ªTiresº in the Index.

6-50 Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles
(10 000 to 13 000 km). Any time you notice unusual
wear, rotate your tires as soon as possible and check
wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or
wheels. See ªWhen It's Time for New Tiresº and
ªWheel Replacementº later in this section for
more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first
rotation is the most important. See ªScheduled
Maintenance Servicesº in the Maintenance Schedule
booklet for scheduled rotation intervals.
When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation
pattern shown here.Don't include the compact spare tire in your tire rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire
-Loading
Information label. Vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitor (TPM) system will need to have the
sensors reset after a tire rotation is performed. A special
tool is needed to reset the sensor identification codes.
See your dealer for service. Make certain that all wheel
nuts are properly tightened. See ªWheel Nut Torqueº
in the Index.
CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which
it is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose
after a time. The wheel could come off and cause
an accident. When you change a wheel, remove
any rust or dirt from places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle. In an emergency,
you can use a cloth or a paper towel to do this;
but be sure to use a scraper or wire brush later,
if you need to, to get all the rust or dirt off.
See ªChanging a Flat Tireº in the Index.
