telephone.
The vehicle may have two accessory power outlets
located below the climate control system, or may have

Tire Pressure Monitor
This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS).
The Tire Pressure Monitor
alerts you when a
significant reduction in
pressure occurs in one or
more of the vehicle’s tires
by illuminating the low tire
pressure warning light on
the instrument cluster.
If the warning light comes on, stop as soon as possible
and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure
shown on the tire loading information label located on
the driver side center pillar (B pillar). See Loading the
Vehicle
on page 5‑29. The warning light will remain on
until the tire pressure is 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 drive. This may be
an early indicator that your tire pressures are getting
low and the tires need to be inflated to the proper
pressure. The Tire Pressure Monitor can alert you about low tire
pressure, but it does not replace normal monthly tire
maintenance. It is the driver
’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor System
on page 6‑75and
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation on page 6‑76.
Engine Oil Life System
The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life
based on vehicle use and, on most vehicles, displays a
DIC message when it is necessary to change the
engine oil and filter. The oil life system should be reset
to 100% only following an oil change.
Resetting the Oil Life System
To reset the Engine Oil Life System on most vehicles:
1. Display the OIL LIFE REMAINING on the DIC. If the vehicle does not have DIC buttons, the
vehicle must be in P (Park) to access this display.
2. Press and hold the SET/RESET button on the DIC, or the trip odometer reset stem if the vehicle does
not have DIC buttons, for more than five seconds.
The oil life will change to 100%.
