Instantaneous Fuel Economy displays the
current fuel economy in either liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles per
gallon (mpg). This number reflects only the
approximate fuel economy that the vehicle
has right now and changes frequently as
driving conditions change.
This display may also show the number of
cylinders the vehicle is running on. See
Active Fuel Management0208.
Fuel Economy Last XXX : Displays the
average fuel economy over a set number of
kilometers or miles.
Average Speed : Displays the average speed
of the vehicle in kilometers per hour (km/h)
or miles per hour (mph). This average is
calculated based on the various vehicle
speeds recorded since the last reset of this

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 Oil
0 247. In addition to the engine oil life
system monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended. See
Maintenance Schedule 0310.
The Oil Life display must be reset after each

estimate of the engine air filter’s remaining
useful life and the state of the system. Engine Air Filter Life 95% means 95% of the
current air filter life remains. Messages will
display based on the engine air filter life
and the state of the system. When the
REPLACE AT NEXT OIL CHANGE message
displays, the engine air filter should be

Coolant Temperature : Displays the coolant
temperature in either degrees Celsius (°C) or
degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
Tire Pressure : Displays 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
0 280 and
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation 0281.

How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System
Reset the system whenever the engine oil is
changed so that the system can calculate
the next engine oil change. To reset the
system:1. Display the REMAINING OIL LIFE on the DIC. See Driver Information Center (DIC)
0 99.
2. Press and hold SEL on the DIC while the Oil Life display is active. The oil life will
change to 100%.
The oil life system can also be reset as
follows: 1. Display the REMAINING OIL LIFE on the DIC with the engine off. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) 099.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal three times within five seconds.
The system is reset when the CHANGE
ENGINE OIL SOON message goes off.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message
comes back on when the vehicle is started,
the engine oil life system has not been
reset. Repeat the procedure.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
How to Check Automatic Transmission
Fluid
It is not necessary to check the transmission
fluid level. A transmission fluid leak is the
only reason for fluid loss. If a leak occurs,
take the vehicle to your dealer and have it
repaired as soon as possible.
The vehicle is not equipped with a
transmission fluid level dipstick. There is a
special procedure for checking and changing
the transmission fluid. Because this
procedure is difficult, this should be done at
the dealer. Contact the dealer for additional
information or the procedure can be found
in the service manual. To purchase a service
manual, see Publication Ordering
Information 0333.
Caution
Use of the incorrect automatic
transmission fluid may damage the
vehicle, and the damage may not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Always
use the correct automatic transmission
fluid. See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants 0318. Change the fluid and filter at the intervals
listed in
Maintenance Schedule 0310, and
be sure to use the fluid listed in
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0318.
Manual Transmission Fluid
It is not necessary to check the manual
transmission fluid level. A transmission fluid
leak is the only reason for fluid loss. If a
leak occurs, take the vehicle to your dealer
and have it repaired as soon as possible. See
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0318
for the proper fluid to use.
Hydraulic Clutch
For vehicles with a manual transmission, it
is not necessary to regularly check brake/
clutch fluid unless there is a leak suspected.
Adding fluid will not correct a leak. A fluid
loss in this system could indicate a problem.
Have the system inspected and repaired.

The brake/hydraulic clutch fluid reservoir cap
has this symbol on it. SeeEngine
Compartment Overview 0242 for reservoir
location. The common hydraulic clutch and
brake master cylinder fluid reservoir is filled
with brake fluid as indicated on the reservoir
cap. See Brake Fluid 0259 for brake fluid
to use.
How to Check and Add Fluid
Visually check the brake/clutch fluid
reservoir to make sure the fluid level is at
the MIN (minimum) line on the side of the
reservoir. The brake/hydraulic clutch fluid
system should be closed and sealed.
Do not remove the cap to check the fluid
level or to top-off the fluid level. Remove
the cap only when necessary to add the
proper fluid until the level reaches the
MIN line.

Different tire sizes should not be
rotated front to rear.
Use this rotation pattern when rotating
tires of the same size installed on all
four wheel positions.
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. SeeTire
Pressure 0278 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0199. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor System.
See
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation
0 281.
Check that all wheel nuts are properly
tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque”
under Capacities and Specifications
0 323.
{Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
cause wheel nuts to become loose
over 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 paper towel can be used; however,
use a scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.
Lightly coat the center of the wheel
hub with wheel bearing grease after a
wheel change or tire rotation to prevent
corrosion or rust build-up.
{Warning
Do not apply grease to the wheel
mounting surface, wheel conical
seats, or the wheel nuts or bolts.
Grease applied to these areas could
cause a wheel to become loose or
come off, resulting in a crash.
When It Is Time for New Tires
Factors, such as maintenance, temperatures,
driving speeds, vehicle loading, and road
conditions affect the wear rate of the tires.
