tire sealant and compressor kit. The kit can be used
to seal small punctures in the tread area of the tire.

Engine Oil Life System

based on vehicle use and displays a DIC message when
it is necessary to change the engine oil and filter. The

2. Press the DIC INFO button until OIL LIFE

REMAINING displays.

3. Press and hold the DIC INFO RESET button until

100% displays.
