Press the windshield defroster switch.
In this position, the outside air position is
automatically selected, and the air
conditioner automatically turned on. The

air to the front windshield and side
windows (page 6-4). Airflow amount will
be increased.
To turn off the system press the
windshield defroster switch again.
NOTE
•First set the temperature to 25.0°C
(77.0°F), then adjust to the desired
temperature.
•Setting the temperature to
maximum high or low will not
provide the desired temperature at a
faster rate.
•To prevent cool air blowing from
the vents when heating right after
starting the engine, the amount of
airflow is reduced until the air
warms up.

Customer Information
Form No. 8Q47-EA-01F
Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQGS)
This information relates to the tire grading system developed by the U.S. National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration for grading tires by tread wear, traction, and
temperature performance.
Tr e a d We a r
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one-and-a-half times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however,
and may depart significantly from the norm because of variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction-AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. These grades represent
the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQGS)
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction
tests and does not include acceleration cornering (turning), hydroplaning, or peak
traction characteristics.
