To reset the maintenance light, turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine. Press the "SEL/RESET" button on the steering wheel until the oil life indicator is displayed. Then, press and hold the "SEL/RESET" button until the indicator begins to blink, and release. Press and hold the button again until the indicator resets to 100%.
The "CHECK ENGINE" light indicates a potential issue with the vehicle's engine or emission control system. It's recommended to check the error codes using an OBD-II scanner and consult a mechanic if necessary.
To adjust the display brightness, use the brightness control knob located to the left of the steering wheel. Turn the knob clockwise to increase brightness and counterclockwise to decrease it.
If the TPMS warning light comes on, check the tire pressures to ensure they are at the recommended levels. Inflate any tires that are low, and if the light remains on, consider getting the system checked by a professional.
To pair your phone, turn on Bluetooth on your phone and ensure it is discoverable. On the RDX dashboard, press the "Phone" button, then select "Yes" to pair a new device. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the pairing process.
The "VSA" (Vehicle Stability Assist) light indicates that the VSA system is activated to help stabilize your vehicle during cornering or if traction is lost. If the light stays on, it may suggest a system malfunction and should be checked by a mechanic.
To change the clock settings, press the "Settings" button on the dashboard, navigate to "Clock," and adjust the time using the on-screen prompts. Ensure you confirm the settings before exiting.
The "Battery Charge" warning light indicates an issue with the vehicle's charging system, possibly due to a faulty alternator or battery. It's essential to have the system checked by a professional to prevent battery discharge.
To access the trip computer information, use the "SEL/RESET" button on the steering wheel. Press it repeatedly to cycle through the available information such as trip distance, average fuel economy, and more.
To check the engine oil level, park the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine. Wait a few minutes for the oil to settle, then remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert it fully. Remove it again and check the oil level, ensuring it is within the marked range.
