SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING 
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil 
change indicator system. The oil change indicator 
system will remind you that it is time to take your 
vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil 
change indicator message will illuminate. This 
means that service is required for your vehicle. 
Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips, 
trailer tow, extended engine idle time, extremely 
hot or cold ambient temperatures will influence 
when the “Oil Change Required” message is 
displayed. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as 
possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).An authorized dealer will reset the oil change 
indicator message after completing the scheduled 
oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed 
by someone other than an authorized dealer, to 
reset the message  Ú
page 41.
NOTE:Under no circumstances should oil change 
intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km), 350 
hours of engine run time or 12 months, whichever 
comes first. The 350 hours of engine run or idle 
time is generally only a concern for fleet 
customers. Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
Check engine oil level.
Check windshield washer fluid level.
Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear 
or damage. Rotate tires at the first sign of irreg
-
ular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indi -
cator system turns on.
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir 
and brake master cylinder, fill as needed.
Check function of all interior and exterior lights.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE227
Run Flat Tires — If Equipped
Run Flat tires allow you the capability to drive 
50 miles (80 km) at 50 mph (80 km/h) after a 
rapid loss of inflation pressure. This rapid loss of 
inflation is referred to as the Run Flat mode. A Run 
Flat mode occurs when the tire inflation pressure is 
of/or below 14 psi (96 kPa). Once a Run Flat tire 
reaches the Run Flat mode it has limited driving 
capabilities and needs to be replaced immediately. 
A Run Flat tire is not repairable. When a Run Flat 
tire is changed after driving with under inflated tire 
condition, please replace the TPMS sensor as it is 
not designed to be reused when driven under Run 
Flat mode 14 psi (96 kPa) condition.
NOTE:TPMS Sensor must be replaced after driving the 
vehicle on a flat tire condition.
It is not recommended driving a vehicle loaded at 
full capacity or to tow a trailer while a tire is in the 
Run Flat mode.
For more information  Úpage 135.
Tire Spinning 
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice conditions, 
do not spin your vehicle's wheels above 30 mph 
(48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds 
continuously without stopping.
For further information  Ú page 185.
Tread Wear Indicators 
Tread wear indicators are in the original equipment 
tires to help you in determining when your tires 
should be replaced.
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the 
tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the 
tread depth becomes a 1/16 of an inch (1.6 mm). 
When the tread is worn to the tread wear 
indicators, the tire should be replaced.
For further information  Úpage 228.
Life Of Tire  
The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying 
factors including, but not limited to:
Driving style.
Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation pres -
sures can cause uneven wear patterns to 
develop across the tire tread. These abnormal 
wear patterns will reduce tread life, resulting in 
the need for earlier tire replacement.
Distance driven.
Performance tires, tires with a speed rating of V 
or higher, and Summer tires typically have a 
reduced tread life. Rotation of these tires per 
the vehicle scheduled maintenance is highly 
recommended.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces 
generated by excessive wheel speeds may 
cause tire damage or failure. A tire could 
explode and injure someone. Do not spin your 
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) 
for more than 30 seconds continuously when 
you are stuck, and do not let anyone near a 
spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced after 
six years, regardless of the remaining tread. 
Failure to follow this warning can result in 
sudden tire failure. You could lose control and 
have a collision resulting in serious injury or 
death.
