Rotation of New Tires
To maintain ride, handling, and performance of the
vehicle, it is important that the first rotation service
for new tires be performed when they have
8 000 to 13 000 km (5,000 to 8,000 miles).
See Tire Inspection and Rotation on page 6-73.
Scheduled Maintenance
When the Change Oil Soon Message
Displays
Change engine oil and filter. See Engine Oil on
page 6-21. An Emission Control Service.
When the Change Oil Soon message displays, service
is required for the vehicle as soon as possible, within
the next 1 000 km/600 miles. If driving under the
best conditions, the engine oil life system might not
indicate the need for vehicle service for more than a
year. The engine oil and filter must be changed at
least once a year and the oil life system must be reset.
Your dealer/retailer has trained service technicians
who will perform this work and reset the system. If the
engine oil life system is reset accidentally, service
the vehicle within 5 000 km/3,000 miles since the last
service. Reset the oil life system whenever the oil
is changed. See Engine Oil Life System on page 6-24.
When the Change Oil Soon message displays, certain
services, checks, and inspections are required. The
services described for Maintenance I should be
performed at every engine oil change. The services
described for Maintenance II should be performed when:
•
Maintenance I was performed the last time the
engine oil was changed.
•
It has been 10 months or more since the Change
Oil Soon message has displayed or since the last
service.
