Resetting the “Change Oil
Soon” Light
Your VUE has a light in the lower-right
corner of the instrument cluster that is
shaped like an oilcan. This is the
Change Oil Soon Light. The light is con-
trolled by a computer system that meas-
ures oil life, based on engine revolutions
and engine temperature. When the light
comes on, change your oil as soon as
possible, preferably within the next few
times that you stop for fuel.
After changing the oil, you need to reset
the system. You can do so by following
these steps:
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON
position, but don’t start the engine.
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal
three times within five seconds.
The next time you turn the key to the
ON position, the light should go off.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Fuel Economy
Your VUE’s fuel economy rating can
be found on your drivers side window
sticker. Your actual mileage may vary
depending upon vehicle options, driving
habits and conditions, and the vehicle’s
overall condition.
For additional fuel economy-related
information, including a Consumer
Information Guide and tips for improving
gas mileage, visit the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) website at:

See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label
(located on the rear edge of the drivers
door) provides you with information
about the size, speed rating, and recom-
mended inflation pressure for your
VUE’s tires. Overinflated tires can pro-
duce a harsh ride while underinflated
tires can reduce fuel economy and pro-
mote tire wear.
Both overinflated and underinflated tires
can affect the handling characteristics of
your vehicle.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Fold-Down Passenger Seatback
Your vehicle is
equipped with a
fold-flat front
passenger seat-
back to help you
carry extra-long
items. To fold
the seatback
flat, lift the bar
under the front
seat to unlock it.
Slide the seat to
the rearmost
position, then
release the bar.
Next, lift the recliner lever, located on
the outside of the seat, and fold the
seat forward until it locks into a folded
position.
