Road Imperfections/Crown Effects
The vehicle's precise steering and
handling make it very responsive to
road surface feedback. A slight pull
may be felt in the steering
depending on the crown of the road
and/or other road surface variations
such as troughs or ruts. This is
normal and the vehicle does not
require service.
Car Wash Guidelines
Some car washes cause damage to
the vehicle, the wheels, and the
convertible top, if equipped.
If you drive the vehicle through an
automatic car wash that does not
have enough clearance for the
undercarriage and/or wide rear tires
and wheels, you could damage the
vehicle. Verify with the manager of
the car wash that the vehicle will fit
before entering the car wash or use
a touchless car wash. See“Washing
the Vehicle” underExterior Care on
page 10-78.Engine Oil Life System
The engine oil life system calculates
engine oil life based on vehicle use
and displays a CHANGE ENGINE
OIL SOON 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
1. Scroll through the DIC Info Pages menu until the
REMAINING OIL LIFE
percentage is displayed. See
Driver Information Center (DIC)
on page 5-24.
2. Press and hold the SEL button on the DIC while the Oil Life
display is active. The oil life will
change to 100%.
See Engine Oil Life System on
page 10-16.
