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 Oil 0332. In
addition to the engine oil life
system monitoring the oil life,
additional maintenance is
recommended. See
Maintenance Schedule 0425.
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, see
Engine Oil Life System
0335.
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 0375 and
Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation 0376.
Air Filter Life : Shows an
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
replaced at the time of the next oil change. When the
REPLACE SOON message
displays, the engine air filter
should be replaced at the

Engine Air Filter Life
System
If equipped, this feature
provides the engine air filter's
remaining life and best timing
for a change. The timing to
change an engine air filter
depends on driving and
environmental conditions.
When to Change Engine
Air Filter
When the Driver Information
Center (DIC) displays a
message to replace the engine
air filter at the next oil change,
follow this timing.
When the DIC displays a
message to replace the engine
air filter soon, replace the
engine air filter at the earliest
convenience. The system must
be reset after the engine air
filter is changed.
If the DIC displays a message
to check the engine air filter
system, see your dealer.
How to Reset Engine Air
Filter Life System
To reset:
1. Place the vehicle in P (Park).
2. Display the Air Filter Life on the DIC. See Driver

Reset the Tire Pressure
Monitor System. See Tire
Pressure Monitor
Operation0376.
Check that all wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See
“Wheel Nut Torque” under
Capacities and
Specifications 0433, and
“Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire”
under Tire Changing 0398.
{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
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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.
{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.
Treadwear indicators are one
way to tell when it is time for
new tires. Treadwear
indicators appear when the
tires have only 1.6 mm (1/16 in)
or less of tread remaining. See
Tire Inspection 0380 and
Tire Rotation 0381.

Tire Rotation and
Required Services Every
12 000 km (7,500 mi)
Tires are rotated to achieve a
more 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
Tires0382 and
Wheel Replacement 0387.
