1-26 In Brief The TPMS does not replace normal monthly tire maintenance. It is the driver 's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressures. See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 10‑53. Tire Pressure Monitor This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). Engine Oil Life System The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life based on vehicle use and displays the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message when it is time to change the engine oil and filter. The oil life system should be reset to 100% only following an oil change. Resetting the Oil Life System 1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with the engine off. 2. Press the DIC MENU button on the turn signal lever to enter the Vehicle Information Menu. Use the thumbwheel to scroll through the menu items until you reach REMAINING OIL LIFE. 3. Press the SET/CLR button to reset the oil life at 100%. 4. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF. See Engine Oil Life System on page 10‑12. Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit The TPMS warning light alerts you to a significant loss in pressure of one of the vehicle's tires. If the warning light comes on, stop as soon as possible and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. See Vehicle Load Limits on page 9‑10. The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is corrected. During cooler conditions, the low tire pressure warning light may appear when the vehicle is first started and then turn off. This may be an early indicator that the tire pressures are getting low and the tires need to be inflated to the proper pressure. This vehicle may come with a spare tire and tire changing equipment or a tire sealant and compressor kit. The kit can be used to temporarily seal small punctures in the tread area of the tire. See Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit (With Pressure Relief Button) on page 10‑67 or Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit (With Pressure Deflation Button) on page 10‑74 for complete operating information. If the vehicle came with a spare tire and tire changing equipment, see If a Tire Goes Flat on page 10‑64.
