    Anyone know how to get rid of this message? I was told by dealer it means it's time to rotate the tires. You can turn it off by reading the manual.
    I looked through the manual and maybe I am missing something. I can find the menu on the display button on the steering wheel, but nothing relating to this and it's hard to move around and looks like you could accidentally turn something on or off in there.
    Any ideas?

    There's a sticky on this, I believe in the maintenance sub-forum.
