31. Low fuel level warning
The low fuel level warning appears on the vehicle
information display when the fuel level in the tank is
getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient, pref-
erably before the gauge reads the empty position.
For further details, see “Fuel gauge” earlier in this
section. OIL CONTROL SYSTEM (where fitted
for diesel engine model)
When the ignition switch is in the
ONposition, en-
gine oil information is displayed.
Engine oil information informs the distance to oil
change, oil level indication and malfunction of oil
level sensor. 1. Distance to oil change
The distance to oil change is displayed if the dis-
tance to oil change is less than 1,500 km (930 miles).
2. Oil replacement indicator
When the set mileage approaches, the engine oil
replacement indicator will appear on the display.
After the oil is changed, reset the distance to oil
change. The oil replacement indicator will not be
reset automatically. To reset this indicator, see
“Settings” earlier in this section.
The distance to oil change interval cannot be ad-
justed manually. The distance to oil change interval
is set automatically.
CAUTION
•
If the oil replacement indicator is displayed,
change the engine oil as soon as possible.
Operating your vehicle with deteriorated oil
can damage the engine.
• Never perform reset if the engine oil was not
changed. Always visit an approved dealer or
qualified workshop to perform the engine oil
change including an oil filter change and the
reset.
NOTE
• It is not possible to undo the reset.
• Resetting the oil change distance is only pos-
sible when:
–T
he distance to oil change is displayed in
the vehicle information display. JVI1244X
Instruments and controls
2-29

–T
he oil replacement indicator is displayed
in the vehicle information display.
• The engine oil should be changed before the
distance to oil change reaches
0km(0miles).
Continued driving after the distance to oil
change reaches 0km(0miles) may result in
reduced engine performance.
• The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) may also
become saturated because regeneration is
restricted once the distance to oil change
reaches 0km(0m iles).
Have the vehicle inspected by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop if the above con-
dition occurs.
• The oil change interval will reduce faster with
certain types of driving, especially at low
speeds in urban conditions.
3. Low level reminder
If the low level indicator is displayed, the engine oil level is low. If the low level reminder is displayed,
check the level using the engine oil dipstick. (See
“Checking engine oil level” in the “8. Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section.)
CAUTION
The oil level should be checked regularly using
the engine oil dipstick. Operating with an insuffi-
cient amount of oil can damage the engine and
such damage is not covered by the warranty. 4. Oil level sensor warning
If the oil sensor warning is displayed, the engine oil
level sensor may be malfunctioning. Contact an ap-
proved dealer or qualified workshop immediately.

OPERATING TIPS (models with
automatic air conditioner)
When the engine coolant temperature and outside
air temperature are low, the air flow from the foot
outlets may not operate. However, this is not amal-
function. After the coolant temperature warms up,
the air flow from the foot outlets will operate nor-
mally. The sensors
jAa ndjB, located on the instrument
panel, help maintain aconstant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around the sensors. SAA2324Z

ja TPMS indicator light
j b TPMS tyre location indicator
j A Tyre valve with sensor
The tyre pressure monitoring system monitors the
tyre pressure of the four wheels while the vehicle is
in motion. Following aloss in pressure, the system
will warn the driver using avisual warning. Each TPMS sensor
jAh asaregistered wheel location
and sends pressure and temperature data via radio
to ar eceiver inside the vehicle.
Each tyre, including the spare (where fitted), should
be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of adiffer-
ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle plac-
ard or tyre inflation pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tyre inflation pressure for those
tyres.)
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) con-
trols the TPMS indicator light j
a, which will illumi-
nate when one or more tyres are significantly under-
inflated. Awarning and tyre location indicator
j bw ill also appear in the vehicle information display
to identify the tyre or tyres with low pressure.
If you now press the switch on the steer-
ing wheel, afurther screen is displayed to tell you
the tyre pressure of all four tyres. NIC2222
