In Brief Road Imperfections/Crown Effects The vehicle's precise steering and handling make it very responsive to road surface feedback. A slight pull may be felt in the steering depending on the crown of the road and/or other road surface variations such as troughs or ruts. This is normal and the vehicle does not require service. Car Wash Guidelines Some car washes cause damage to the vehicle, the wheels, and the convertible top, if equipped. If you drive the vehicle through an automatic car wash that does not have enough clearance for the undercarriage and/or wide rear tires and wheels, you could damage the vehicle. Verify with the manager of the car wash that the vehicle will fit before entering the car wash or use a touchless car wash. See "Washing the Vehicle" under Exterior Care on page 10-69. 1-21 Engine Oil Life System The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life based on vehicle use and displays a DIC message when it is necessary to change the engine oil and filter.
