Maintenance
Traction Control/
Electronic Stability
Control
The Traction Control System (TCS)
limits wheel spin. The system is on
when the vehicle is started.
The StabiliTrak system assists with
directional control of the vehicle in
difficult driving conditions. The
system is on when the vehicle is
started.
.To turn off TCS, press and
release
gon the center console.
The traction off light

illuminates in the instrument
cluster.
. Press and release
gagain to
turn TCS back on. The traction
off light
iin the instrument
cluster will turn off. .
To turn off both TCS and

See Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control 0273.
Tire Pressure Monitor
This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The low tire pressure warning light
alerts to a significant loss in
pressure of one of the vehicle's tires. If the warning light comes on,
stop as soon as possible and inflate
the tires to the recommended
pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
Vehicle Load Limits
0255. The
warning light will remain on until the
tire pressure is corrected.
The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
may be an early indicator that the
tire pressures are getting low and
the tires need to be inflated to the
proper pressure.
The TPMS does not replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. Maintain
the correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor
System 0347.
Engine Oil Life System
The engine oil life system calculates
engine oil life based on vehicle use
and displays the CHANGE ENGINE
OIL SOON message when it is time
to change the engine oil and filter.

24 In Brief
The oil life system should be reset
to 100% only following an oil
change.
Resetting the Oil Life System1. Using the DIC controls on the right side of the steering wheel,
display REMAINING OIL LIFE
on the DIC. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) (Base
Level) 0128 orDriver
Information Center (DIC)
(Uplevel) 0131. When
remaining oil life is low, the
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message will appear on the
display. See Engine Oil
Messages 0139.
2. Press
Von the DIC controls
and hold down for a few
seconds to clear the CHANGE
ENGINE OIL SOON message
and reset the oil life at 100%.
Be careful not to reset the oil
life display accidentally at any
time other than after the oil is
changed. It cannot be reset
accurately until the next oil
change. See
Engine Oil Life System 0316.
Driving for Better Fuel
Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel
mileage. Here are some driving tips
to get the best fuel economy
possible.
.
Avoid fast starts and accelerate
smoothly.
. Brake gradually and avoid
abrupt stops.
. Avoid idling the engine for long
periods of time.
. When road and weather
conditions are appropriate, use
cruise control.
. Always follow posted speed
limits or drive more slowly when
conditions require.
. Keep vehicle tires properly
inflated.
. Combine several trips into a
single trip. .
Replace the vehicle's tires with
the same TPC Spec number
molded into the tire's sidewall
near the size.
. Follow recommended scheduled
maintenance.

Heated and Cooled Front
Seats
{Warning
If you cannot feel temperature
change or pain to the skin, the
seat heater may cause burns. To
reduce the risk of burns, people
with such a condition should use
care when using the seat heater,
especially for long periods of
time. Do not place anything on
the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket, cushion,
cover, or similar item. This may
cause the seat heater to
overheat. An overheated seat
heater may cause a burn or may
damage the seat.If equipped, the buttons are near the
climate controls. To operate, the
engine must be running.
Press
Jorzto heat the driver or
passenger seat cushion and
seatback.

passenger seat.
Press the button once for the
highest setting. With each press of
the button, the heated and cooled
seat will change to the next lower
setting, and then the off setting. Three lights indicate the highest
setting, and one light indicates the
lowest.
If the heated seats are on high, the
level may automatically be lowered
after approximately 30 minutes.
Remote Start Auto Heated and
Cooled Seats
The heated and cooled seats can
be programmed to turn on
automatically during a remote
vehicle start when conditions allow.
The heated seat function can be
programmed to come on when
ENGINE START/STOP is pressed
under certain conditions. Press the
heated or cooled seat button to use
the heated or cooled seats after the
vehicle is started.
The heated and cooled seat button
lights will not turn on during a
