This may be an early indicator that
the tire pressures are getting low
and the tires need to be inflated to
the proper pressure.

The TPMS does not replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. It is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressures.

Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit

This vehicle may come with a jack

to temporarily seal small punctures
in the tread area of the tire.

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. Fully press and release the

accelerator pedal three times
within five seconds.
