If available, this feature will alert you

to vehicles located in the vehicle's

side blind zone. When the system

detects a vehicle in the side blind

zone, an amber SBZA display will

light up in the corresponding outside

side mirror.

The system is enabled at every

vehicle startup. It can be disabled

through the Driver Information

Center (DIC).

If the message SIDE BLIND ZONE

SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE appears

on the DIC, the system has been

disabled because the sensor is

blocked and cannot detect vehicles

in the blind zone. The sensor may

be blocked by mud, dirt, snow, ice,

slush, or even heavy rainstorms.

This message may also activate

during heavy rain or due to road

spray. The vehicle does not need

Tire Pressure Monitor

This vehicle may have a Tire

Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).

The TPMS warning light alerts you

to a significant loss in pressure of

one of the vehicle's tires. If the

warning light comes on, stop as

soon as possible and inflate the

tires to the recommended pressure

shown on the Tire and Loading

Information label. See Vehicle Load

Limits on page 9 23‑. The warning

light will remain on until the tire

pressure is corrected.

During cooler conditions, the low tire

pressure warning light may appear

when the vehicle is first started and

then turn off. This may be an early

indicator that the tire pressures are

getting low and the tires need to be

inflated to the proper pressure.

The TPMS does not replace normal

monthly tire maintenance. It is the

driver s responsibility to maintain’

correct tire pressures.

See Tire Pressure Monitor System

on page 10 58‑.

Engine Oil Life System

The engine oil life system calculates

engine oil life based on vehicle use

and, on most vehicles, displays a

DIC message when it is necessary

to change the engine oil and filter.

The oil life system should be reset

to 100% only following an oil

change.

Resetting the Oil Life System

To reset the Engine Oil Life System

on most vehicles:

on the DIC. If the vehicle does

not have DIC buttons, the

vehicle must be in P (Park) to

access this display.

2. Press and hold the SET/RESET

button on the DIC, or the trip

odometer reset stem if the

vehicle does not have DIC

buttons, for more than

transmitter.

3. Get out of the vehicle, close the

door and wait for the security

light to go out.

window, unlock the door with the

manual door lock and open the

alarm.

horn fuse may be blown. To replace

the fuse, see Fuses and Circuit

Breakers on page 10 41‑.

If the alarm does not sound or the

headlamps do not flash, the vehicle

should be serviced by your dealer.
