324 SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
At your dealer, you can be certain that
you will receive the highest level of
service available. Your dealer has
specially trained service technicians,
uses genuine replacement parts, as
well as, up-to-date tools and
equipment to ensure fast and accurate
diagnostics.
The proper replacement parts, fluids,
and lubricants to use are listed in
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
0331 and Maintenance Replacement
Parts 0332. We recommend the use
of genuine parts from your dealer.
Rotation of New Tires
Tire rotation is not recommended if
the vehicle has different size tires on
the front and rear wheels. If tire
rotation is recommended for the
vehicle, to maintain ride, handling,
and performance of the vehicle, it is
important that the first rotation
service for new tires be performed.
Tires should be rotated every service.
See Tire Rotation 0296.Maintenance Schedule

can perform this work. If the engine oil life system is reset accidentally,
service the vehicle within 5 000 km/
3,000 mi since the last service. Reset
the oil life system when the oil is

Vehicle Data Recording
and Privacy
The vehicle has a number of
computers that record information
about the vehicle’s performance and
how it is driven. For example, the
vehicle uses computer modules to
monitor and control engine and
transmission performance, to monitor
the conditions for airbag deployment
and deploy them in a crash, and,
if equipped, to provide antilock
braking to help the driver control the
vehicle. These modules may store data
to help the dealer technician service
the vehicle. Some modules may also
store data about how the vehicle is
operated, such as rate of fuel
consumption or average speed. These
modules may retain personal
preferences, such as radio presets, seat
positions, and temperature settings.
Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main
purpose of an EDR is to record, in
certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle,
data that will assist in understanding
how a vehicle's systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR
in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
.
How various systems in your
vehicle were operating.
. Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
. How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and
. How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
Note
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs. No data are recorded by the
EDR under normal driving conditions
and no personal data (e.g., name,
