Performance and Maintenance
StabiliTrak® System
The vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel spin, and the StabiliTrak system that assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
Both systems turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started.
► To turn off traction control, press and release 
located on the instrument panel, and the appropriate DIC message displays. See Ride Control System Messages .
► Press and release 
again to turn on the traction control system. The StabiliTrak system remains on.
For more information, see StabiliTrak® System .
Tire Pressure Monitor
This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
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 . 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.
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 .
Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit
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 for complete operating information.
If the vehicle came with a spare tire and tire changing equipment, see If a Tire Goes Flat .
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 vehicle information button until OIL LIFE REMAINING displays.
3. Press and hold the set/reset button until “100%” is displayed.
Three chimes sound and the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message goes off.
4. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.
See Engine Oil Life System .
