AIR RIDE SWITCH OFF - This warning message is displayed when the AIR SUSPENSION SERVICE SWITCH is in the OFF position. The air suspension service switch is located in the vehicle trunk in the jack stowage area on the left side. For more information refer to the Air Suspension section in the Driving chapter. CHECK AIR RIDE SYSTEM - This warning message is displayed when the Air Suspension System is not operating properly. If this warning message is displayed while driving, pull off the road as soon as safely possible. If the vehicle is loaded beyond the recommended maximum payload, the "CHECK AIR RIDE SYSTEM" message may be displayed. This is a normal condition if the vehicle is overloaded. To correct this condition, remove or redistribute the payload per the recommended maximum requirements. Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF to ON again. If the warning message reappears, turn the Air Suspension Service Switch (located in the vehicle trunk in the jack stowage area on the left side) OFF and contact your dealer for service as soon as safely possible. For further information refer to the Air Suspension section in the Driving chapter. CHANGE OIL SOON/OIL CHANGE REQUIRED - This warning message is displayed when the engine oil life remaining is 5% or less. When Oil Life Left is between 5% and 0%, the "CHANGE OIL SOON" message will be displayed. When Oil Life Left reaches 0%, the "OIL CHANGE REQUIRED" message will be displayed. An oil change is required whenever indicated by the Message Center. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ENGINE OILS (see Engine Oil in the Index). The Message Center will tell you the percent of oil left during System Check. This percentage is based on your driving history and the time since your last oil change. In order to ensure accurate oil life left indications, you should only perform the following OIL CHANGE RESET Procedure after you have the oil changed. 37
