MAINTENANCE INDICATORS
1. Engine oil replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the set time
comes for changing the engine oil. You
can set or reset the distance for changing
the engine oil. (See “Trip computer” (P.2-
23).)
2. Oil filter replacement indicator

WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not
a substitute for regular tire checks,
including tire pressure checks. See
“Changing wheels and tires” (P.8-34).
Many factors including tire inflation,
alignment, driving habits and road
conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the
tire replacement indicator for a cer-tain driving distance does not mean
your tires will last that long. Use the
tire replacement indicator as a guide

checks. Failure to perform regular
tire checks, including tire pressure
checks could result in tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to a collision, which
could result in serious personal in-
jury or death.

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system on
for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will

depressed to the floor. If maximum en-
gine power is needed to free a stuck
vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator light will
illuminate. Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. (See
