Tire Learn
This menu is not available while the vehicle is moving. This display allows for matching of the TPMS sensors. See Tire Pressure Monitor System and Tire Pressure Monitor Operation.
Remaining Oil Life
This menu is not available while the vehicle is moving. This display shows an
estimate of the oil's remaining useful life. If 99
% is displayed, that means 99% of the current oil life remains.
When the remaining oil life is low, the Code 82 message will appear on the display. The oil should be changed as soon as possible. See Engine Oil. In addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is recommended in the Maintenance Schedule. See Maintenance Schedule.
Remember, the oil life display must be reset after each oil change. It will not reset itself. Also, be careful not to reset the oil life display accidentally at any time other than when the oil has just been changed.
It cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change. To reset the engine oil life system, press the SET/CLR button while the oil life display is active. See Engine Oil Life System.
