110 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
L/100 km (mpg) recorded since the
last time this menu item was reset.
This number reflects only the
approximate average fuel economy
that the vehicle has right now, and
will change as driving conditions
change. The Average Fuel Economy
can be reset by pressing
Vand
selecting yes or no while this display
is active.
Fuel Range : Shows the approximate
distance the vehicle can be driven
without refueling. LOW will be
displayed when the vehicle is low on
fuel. The fuel range estimate is based
on an average of the vehicle's fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank.
Oil Life : Shows an estimate of the
oil's remaining useful life.
If REMAINING OIL LIFE 99% is
displayed, that means 99% of the
current oil life remains.
When the remaining oil life is low, the
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message
will appear on the display. The oil
should be changed as soon as
possible. See Engine Oil0241. In addition to the engine oil life system
monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended. See
Maintenance Schedule
0303.
The Oil Life display must be reset
after each oil change. It will not reset
itself. Do not reset the Oil Life display
accidentally at any time other than
when the oil has just been changed.
It cannot be reset accurately until the
next oil change. To reset the engine
oil life system, press
Vand then
select yes or no. See Engine Oil Life
System 0243.
Tire Pressure : Shows the
approximate pressures of all four tires.
Tire pressure is displayed in either
kilopascal (kPa) or in pounds per
square inch (psi). If the pressure is
low, the value for that tire is shown in
amber. See Tire Pressure Monitor
System 0276 and
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation 0277.
Fuel Economy : Displays average fuel
economy, the best fuel economy over
the selected distance, and a bar graph
showing instantaneous fuel economy. Average Speed :
Displays the average
vehicle speed of the vehicle in
kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles
per hour (mph). This average is based
on the various vehicle speeds recorded
since the last reset. Reset the average
speed by pressing the thumbwheel
while this display is active to show a
confirmation window to select yes
or no.
Timer : This display can be used as a
timer. To start the timer, press the

Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated every
12 000 km (7,500 mi). See
Maintenance Schedule0303.
Tires are rotated to achieve a
uniform wear for all tires. The first
rotation is the most important.
Anytime unusual wear is noticed,
rotate the tires as soon as
possible, check for proper tire
inflation pressure, and check for
damaged tires or wheels. If the
unusual wear continues after the
rotation, check the wheel
alignment. See When It Is Time for
New Tires 0282 and
Wheel Replacement 0286.
Use this rotation pattern when
rotating the tires.
If the vehicle has a compact spare
tire, do not include it in the tire
rotation.
Adjust the front and rear tires to
the recommended inflation
pressure on the Tire and Loading
Information label after the tires
have been rotated. See Tire
Pressure 0275 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0154.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System. See Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation 0277. Check that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See
“Wheel
Nut Torque ”under Capacities and
Specifications 0318.
{Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on
the parts to which it is fastened,
can make wheel nuts become
loose after time. The wheel
could come off and cause a
crash. When changing a wheel,
remove any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel attaches
to the vehicle. In an emergency,
a cloth or a paper towel can be
used; however, use a scraper or
wire brush later to remove all
rust or dirt.
Lightly coat the inner diameter of
the wheel hub opening with wheel
bearing grease after a wheel
change or tire rotation to prevent
corrosion or rust buildup. Do not
