NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature change.
Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the Winter. Example:
If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is 32°F (0°C), then the cold
tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every
12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures
and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable
system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not
of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use
tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage
to the sensors may result.

-SeatBeltReminderLight
When the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, this light will turn on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the driver's seat belt is unbuckled, a
chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver or front passenger seat belt
remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Indicator Light will flash or remain on continuously. Refer to
“Seat Belt Systems” in “Things To Know Before Starting” in the OM on your DVD for further
information.
-BrakeWarningLight
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake appli-
cation. If the brake light turns on it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake
fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system reservoir.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
For information on the maintenance procedures for your vehicle, please refer to “Maintenance
Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” in your Owner’s Manual or applicable supplement on
the DVD for further details.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Yo u r v e h i c l e i s e q u i p p e d w i t h a n a u t o m a t i c o i l c h a n g e i n d i c a t o r s y s t e m . T h e o i l c h a n g e i n d i c a t o r
system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This
means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips,
trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage will influence when
the “Oil Change Required” message is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the
change oil message to illuminate as early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your
vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the scheduled
oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your authorized dealer,
the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under “Instrument Cluster Warning
Lights” in “What To Do In Emergencies” in this guide or “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in your Owners Manual on the DVD for
further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or twelve
months, whichever comes first.
