When the Light Is On Steady
This indicates that one or more of
the tires are significantly
underinflated.
A Driver Information Center (DIC)
tire pressure message may also
display. SeeVehicle Messages
(Base Level) on page 5‑26 or
Vehicle Messages (Uplevel) on
page 5‑26 for more information.
Stop as soon as possible, and
inflate the tires to the pressure value
shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See Tire Pressure
on page 10‑44 for more information.
When the Light Flashes First and
Then Is On Steady
If the light flashes for about a minute
and then stays on, there may be a
problem with the TPMS. If the
problem is not corrected, the light
will come on at every ignition cycle.
See Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation on page 10‑46 for more
information.Engine Oil Pressure Light
{WARNING
Do not keep driving if the oil
pressure is low. The engine can
become so hot that it catches fire.
Someone could be burned. Check
the oil as soon as possible and
have the vehicle serviced.
Notice: Lack of proper engine oil
maintenance can damage the
engine. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always follow the maintenance
schedule for changing engine oil.
The oil pressure light should come
on briefly as the engine is started.
If it does not come on, have the
vehicle serviced by your dealer.
If the light comes on and stays on, it
means that oil is not flowing through
the engine properly. The vehicle
could be low on oil and might have
some other system problem. See
your dealer.

Instantaneous Fuel Economy
The Instantaneous Fuel Economy
display shows the current fuel
economy in liters per 100 kilometers
(L/100 km) or miles per gallon
(mpg). This number reflects only the
fuel economy that the vehicle has
right now and changes frequently as
driving conditions change. Unlike
average fuel economy, this display
cannot be reset.
Average Speed
This displays the average 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. On some models, this
display is shown as
ckm/h (mph).
Reset the average speed by
pressing SET/CLR when it is
displayed. Fuel Used
This display shows the approximate
liters (L) or gallons (gal) of fuel that
have been used since last reset.
The fuel used can be reset by
pressing the SET/CLR button while

Tire Pressure
The display may show a vehicle
with the approximate pressures of
all four tires. Tire pressure is
displayed in either kilopascal (kPa)
or in pounds per square inch (psi).
On some models, this display only
allows for matching of the TPMS

Remaining Oil Life
This display 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. On some
models, this display is shown as
:%.
When the remaining oil life is low,
the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message, or code 82, will appear on
the display. See Engine Oil
Messages on page 5‑28 and

following. The oil should be
changed as soon as possible. See
Engine Oil on page 10‑7. In addition to the engine oil life system
monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule in this
manual. See
Maintenance Schedule
on page 11‑3 for more information.
Remember, the Oil Life display must
be reset after each oil change. It will
not reset itself. Also, be careful not
to 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 the
SET/CLR button while the Oil Life
display is active. See Engine Oil
Life System on page 10‑9. Battery Voltage
This display, available on some
vehicles, shows the current battery
voltage. If the voltage is in the
normal range, the value will display.
For example, the display may read
BATTERY VOLTAGE 15.0 VOLTS.
The vehicle's charging system
regulates voltage based on the state
of the battery. The battery voltage
can fluctuate while viewing this
information on the DIC. This is
normal. See
Charging System Light
on page 5‑12 for more information.
If there is a problem with the battery
charging system, the DIC will
display a message. See Battery
