4Automatic climate control systemTo reduce the probability of fogging up
inside of the windshield, the air intake
control is set to outside (fresh) air posi-
tion automatically if any of following
occur.
 The ignition switch is turned on while
the mode is selected to the

 The OFF button is pushed.
 The mode is selected to the or
position.
If you don’t want the outside (fresh) air
position, press the corresponding button
to cancel the operation. How to cancel or return defogging logic
of automatic climate control system
1. Turn the ignition switch to the
“ON”
position.
2. Select the defrost position pressing defrost button ( ).
3. While holding the air conditioning but- ton (A/C) pressed, press the air intake
control button ( ) at least 5 times
within 3 seconds. The A/C display blinks 3 times with 0.5
second of interval. It indicates that the
defogging logic is canceled or returned to
the programmed status.
If the battery has been discharged or dis-
connected, it is reset to the defog logic
status.

6TIRES PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (IF EQUIPPED)
➀
Low Tire Pressure Indicator
➁
TPMS Malfunction Indicator
Each tire, including the spare, should
be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure rec-
ommended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If your vehi-
cle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.) As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure indicator when one or more
of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tire pressure indicator illuminates,
you should stop and check your tires
as soon as possible, and inflate them
to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire caus-
es the tire to overheat and can lead
to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure
indicator.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is a separate indi-
cator, which displays the symbol
"TPMS" when illuminated. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intend-
ed. TPMS malfunctions may occur for
a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alterna-
tive tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction indicator after replacing
one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replace-
ment or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to func-
tion properly.

Wheel size designation
Wheels are also marked with impor-
tant information that you need if you
ever have to replace one. The follow-
ing explains what the letters and
numbers in the wheel size designa-
tion mean.
Example wheel size designation:
6.5JX16
6.5 - Rim width in inches.
J - Rim contour designation.
16 - Rim diameter in inches. Tire speed ratings
The chart below lists many of the dif-
ferent speed ratings currently being
used for passenger cars. The speed
rating is part of the tire size designa-
tion on the sidewall of the tire. This
symbol corresponds to that tire's
designed maximum safe operating
speed.
3. Checking tire life (TIN : Tire
Identification Number) Any tires that are over 6 years, based
on the manufacturing date, tire
strength and performance, decline
with age naturally (even unused
spare tires). Therefore, the tires
(including the spare tire) should be
replaced by new ones. You can find
the manufacturing date on the tire
sidewall (possibly on the inside of the
wheel), displaying the DOT Code.
The DOT Code is a series of num-
bers on a tire consisting of numbers
and English letters. The manufactur-
ing date is designated by the last four
digits (characters) of the DOT code.
DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO
The front part of the DOT means a
plant code number, tire size and
tread pattern and the last four num-
bers indicate week and year manu-
factured.
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 1605 represents
that the tire was produced in the 16th
week of 2005.
