2007 BUICK RANDEZVOUS maintenance schedule

To reset the system, do the following:
1. With the engine off, turn the ignition to ON.
2. Press the MODE button until the DIC reads
LOW TIRE PRESSURE HOLD SET TO
RESET.
3. Press and hold the SET button until you hear
a chime, and TIRE PRESSURE RESET is
displayed.
You will hear three chimes, then the LOW TIRE
PRESSURE message will go off and the DIC
will return to TIRE PRESSURE NORMAL. If the
LOW TIRE PRESSURE message comes back on,
the check tire pressure system has not reset.
Repeat the procedure.
The system completes the calibration process
during driving. The system learns the pressure at
each tire throughout the operating speed range
of your vehicle. The system normally takes
between 30 and 60 minutes of driving to learn
the tire pressures. The system normally takes
10 to 20 minutes of driving in each speed range
to learn tire pressures. The speed ranges are
20 to 40 mph (32 to 64 km/h), 40 to 60 mph
(64 to 96 km/h), and above 60 mph (96 km/h).
This time may be longer depending on yourindividual driving habits. The learning process
does not need to be completed during a single trip.
Once learned, the system will remember the tire
pressure until the system is reset.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 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. SeeWhen
It Is Time for New Tires on page 418andWheel
Replacement on page 422for more information.
Make sure the spare tire is stored securely. Push,
pull, and then try to rotate or turn the tire, If it
moves, use the folding wrench to tighten the cable.
SeeStoring a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools on
page 444.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve
more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The
rst rotation is the most important. SeeScheduled
Maintenance on page 475.

Maintenance Schedule
Introduction
Important: Keep engine oil at the proper level
and change as recommended.
Have you purchased the GM Protection Plan? The
Plan supplements your new vehicle warranties.
See your Warranty and Owner Assistance booklet
or your dealer for details.
Maintenance Requirements
Notice:Maintenance intervals, checks,
inspections, replacement parts, and
recommended uids and lubricants as
prescribed in this manual are necessary to
keep your vehicle in good working condition.
Any damage caused by failure to follow
scheduled maintenance may not be covered by
warranty.
472

Your Vehicle and the Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep
your vehicle in good working condition, but also
helps the environment. All recommended
maintenance is important. Improper vehicle
maintenance can even affect the quality of the air
we breathe. Improper uid levels or the wrong
tire ination can increase the level of emissions
from your vehicle. To help protect our environment,
and to keep your vehicle in good condition, be
sure to maintain your vehicle properly.
Using the Maintenance Schedule
We at General Motors want to help you keep your
vehicle in good working condition. But we do
not know exactly how you will drive it. You may
drive very short distances only a few times a week.
Or you may drive long distances all the time in
very hot, dusty weather. You may use your vehicle
in making deliveries. Or you may drive it to
work, to do errands, or in many other ways.
Because of all the different ways people use their
vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may
need more frequent checks and replacements. So
please read the following and note how you
drive. If you have any questions on how to keep
your vehicle in good condition, see your GM
Goodwrench
®dealer.

The proper replacement parts, uids, and
lubricants to use are listed inRecommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 485andNormal
Maintenance Replacement Parts on page 486.

When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message comes
on, it means that service is required for your
vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is
possible that, if you are driving under the best
conditions, the engine oil life system may
not indicate that vehicle service is necessary for
over a year. However, your engine oil and
lter must be changed at least once a year and at
this time the system must be reset. Your GM
Goodwrench
®dealer has GM-trained service
technicians who will perform this work using
genuine GM parts and reset the system.
