Maintenance indicators
1. Engine oil replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer set time comes for changing the engine oil. You can set or reset the distance for changing the engine oil. (See “Trip computer” later in this section.)
2. Oil filter replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer set time comes for replacing the oil filter. You can set or reset the distance for replacing the oil filter. (See “Trip computer” later in this section.)
3. Tire replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer set distance comes for replacing tires. You can set or reset the distance for replacing tires. (See “Trip computer” later in this section.)
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, including
tire pressure checks. See “Changing wheels
and tires” in the “8. Maintenance and do-ityourself” section. Many factors
including
tire inflation, alignment, driving habits and
road conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the tire
replacement indicator for a certain driving
distance does not mean your tires will last
that long. Use the tire replacement indicator
as a guide only and always perform regular
tire checks. Failure to perform regular tire
checks, including tire pressure checks could
result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to a collision,
which could result in serious personal injury
or death.
4. “OTHER” indicator
This indicator appears when the customer set time comes for replacing items other than the engine oil, oil filter and tires. You can set or reset the distance for replacing the items. (See “Trip computer” later in this section.). More maintenance reminders are also available on the center display. (See “How to use INFO button” in the “4. Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems” section.)
