Tire Pressure Monitor
The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you
when a significant reduction in pressure
occurs in one or more of your vehicle’s
tires by illuminating the (Low Tire
Pressure) warning light on the instru-
ment panel. The low tire pressure warn-
ing light will remain on until you correct
the tire pressure.
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message
may appear on the DIC.
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you must inflate the tire to
the proper tire pressure. The Tire and
Loading Information label, located on
the center pillar below the driver’s door
latch, shows the correct tire pressure for
the tires when they’re cold. “Cold”
means your vehicle has been sitting for
at least three hours or driven no more
than one mile.
You can temporarily remove the DIC
message by acknowledging it with your
DIC controls. However, at the next
vehicle start-up, the DIC message will
reappear if the tire pressure has not
been corrected.
You may notice during cooler conditions
that the low tire pressure warning light
will appear when the vehicle is first
started and then turn off as you start to
drive. This could be an early indicator
that your tire pressures are getting low
and the tires need to be inflated to the
proper pressure.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Note:The Tire Pressure Monitor can
alert you about low tire pressure, but it
doesn’t replace normal monthly tire
maintenance.

oil life based on vehicle use and dis-
plays CHANGE OIL SOON in the Driver

off.
2. Press the (Vehicle Information)
button until the DIC displays OIL LIFE
REMAINING.
3. Press and hold the (Set/Reset)
button until 100% is displayed.
4. Turn off the ignition.
