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 6-71.
Scheduled Maintenance
When the Change Oil Message
Displays
Change engine oil and filter. See Engine Oil on
page 6-15. An Emission Control Service.
When the Change Oil 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 6-18.
When the Change Oil 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 message has displayed or since the last
service.
