Resetting the "Change Oil
Soon" Light
Your VUE has a light in the lower-right
corner of the instrument cluster that is
shaped like an oilcan. This is the
Change Oil Soon Light. It is controlled
by a computer system that measures oil
life, based on engine revolutions and
engine temperature. When the light
comes on, change your oil as soon as
possible, preferably within the next few
times that you stop for fuel.
After changing the oil, you need to reset
the system. You can do so by following
these steps:
1. Turn the ignition key to the Run
position, but don't start the engine.
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal
three times within five seconds.
The next time you turn the key to the
Run position, the light should go off.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Tire Pressure

The Tire and Loading Information label
(located on the rear edge of the driver's
door) provides you with information
about the size, speed rating and recom-
mended inflation pressure for your
VUE's tires. Overinflated tires can pro-
duce a harsh ride, while underinflated
tires can reduce fuel economy and pro-
mote tire wear.
Both overinflated and underinflated tires
can affect the handling characteristics of
your vehicle.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Removing the Spare Tire

Your vehicle's spare tire is located
beneath the load floor cargo organizer in
the rear cargo area of the vehicle. All of
the tools you need to replace a flat tire
are located in the storage compartment,
on the driver's side of the cargo area.
After use, it is important to secure
the spare tire, jack and tools properly.
See your Owner Manual for detailed
instructions.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Driving Off Paved Roads

Your VUE has been designed primarily
for use on pavement. However, if you
drive it off paved roads, keep the follow-
ing things in mind:
• If your vehicle does not have all-
wheel drive, you should not drive it
off-road unless you're on a level,
solid surface.
• If your VUE is equipped with all-
wheel drive, you may travel on
unpaved roads to campgrounds,
picnic sites and similar sites on
occasion.
Many of the same design features
that help make the VUE responsive on
paved roads during poor weather condi-
tions — features like all-wheel drive —
help make it much better suited for
off-road use than a conventional
passenger car. Its higher ground clear-
ance also helps your vehicle step over
some off-road obstacles. But your vehi-
cle does not have features like special
underbody shielding and a transfer case
low gear range, things that are usually
thought necessary for extended or
severe off-road use.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
