required for the vehicle. See your dealer/retailer.
SeeEngine Oil on page 5-18andScheduled
Maintenance on page 6-4for more information.
When you reset the Change Engine Oil Soon message
by clearing it from the display, you still must reset
the engine oil life system separately. For more
information on resetting the engine oil life system,
seeEngine Oil Life System on page 5-21.
Check Tire Pressure
This message displays when the pressure in one or
more of the vehicle’s tires needs to be checked. It also
displays Left Front, Right Front, Left Rear, or Right
Rear to indicate which tire. More than one tire pressure
message can be received at a time. To read the
other messages, press the set/reset button. If a tire
pressure message appears, stop as soon as you can.
Have the tire pressures checked and set to those shown
on the Tire Loading Information label. SeeTires on
page 5-61,Loading the Vehicle on page 4-20, and
Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-69. The DIC display
also shows the tire pressure values. SeeDIC
Operation and Displays on page 3-51. If the tire
pressure is low, the low tire pressure warning light
comes on. SeeTire Pressure Light on page 3-42.
Cruise Set To XXX MPH (km/h)
This message displays whenever the cruise control
is set. SeeCruise Control on page 3-14for more
information.

Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor System. SeeTire
Pressure Monitor Operation on page 5-73.
Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly
tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” under
Capacities and Specifications on page 5-127.
{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 a crash. 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.
When It Is Time for New Tires
Various factors, such as maintenance, temperatures,
driving speeds, vehicle loading, and road conditions
inuence when you need new tires.
One way to tell when it is
time for new tires is to
check the treadwear
indicators, which will
appear when your tires
have only 1/16 inch
(1.6 mm) or less of tread
remaining.

The proper replacement parts, uids, and lubricants to
use are listed inRecommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page 6-14andMaintenance Replacement Parts
on page 6-16. When the vehicle is serviced, make sure
these are used. All parts should be replaced and all
necessary repairs done before you or anyone else
drives the vehicle. We recommend the use of genuine
parts from your dealer/retailer.
Scheduled Maintenance
To maintain the ride, handling, and performance
of this vehicle, it is important that the rst tire rotation
service be performed when the vehicle has 5,000
to 8,000 miles (8 000 to 13 000 km). Check tires for
ination pressures and wear. SeeTires on page 5-61.
Rotate tires. SeeTire Inspection and Rotation on
page 5-76and “Tire Wear Inspection” inAt Least
Once a Month on page 6-11.When the Change Engine Oil Soon message displays in
the Driver Information Center (DIC), service is required
for the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced as soon
as possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km).
It is possible that, if driving under the best conditions,
the engine oil life system may not indicate that
vehicle service is necessary for over a year. However,
the engine oil and lter must be changed at least once
a year and at this time the system must be reset.
Your dealer/retailer has trained service technicians
who will perform this work using genuine parts and
reset the system.
If the engine oil life system is ever reset accidentally,
service the vehicle within 3,000 miles (5 000 km)
since the last service. Remember to reset the oil life
system whenever the oil is changed. SeeEngine Oil Life
System on page 5-21for information on the Engine
Oil Life System and resetting the system.
