page 9-28.
This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The low tire pressure warning light alerts 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.
The low tire pressure warning light may come on in cool weather when the vehicle is first started, and then turn off as the vehicle is driven. 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. Maintain the correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 10-46.
The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life based on vehicle use and displays a CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message when it is time to change the engine oil and filter.
Resetting the Oil Life System
Reset the system whenever the engine oil is changed so that the system can calculate the next engine oil change. To reset the system:
1.Display OIL LIFE REMAINING on the DIC. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 5-24 and Engine Oil Messages on page 5-31.
2.Press V for five seconds to reset the oil life at 100%.

The oil life system can also be reset as follows:
1.Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN with the engine off.
2.Fully press and release the accelerator pedal three times within five seconds.
If the OIL LIFE REMAINING value is not 100%, the system needs to be reset again.
See Engine Oil Life System on page 10-10.
