AutoThe function automatically
regulates cooling, heating,
blower speed, recirculation,
and air distribution to main-
tain the chosen temperature.
If you select one or more man-
ual functions, the other func-
tions continue to be controlled automatically.
The air quality sensor is engaged and all man-
ual settings are switched off when AUTO is
pressed. The display shows
AUTO
CLIMATE.
Blower speed in automatic mode can be set
under Climate settings
Automatic fan
adjust. Choose between
Low, Normal orHigh.
NOTE
Selecting the lowest blower speed may
increases the risk of fog forming on the win-
dows.
Temperature controlThe temperatures on the
driver and passenger sides
can be set independently.
When the vehicle is started,
the most recent setting is
resumed.
NOTE
Heating or cooling cannot be speeded up by
selecting a higher/lower temperature than
the actual temperature required.
A/C – ON/OFFThe air conditioning is con-
trolled automatically by the
system when the ON light is
on. This cools/heats and
dehumidifies the incoming air.
When the OFF light is on, the
air conditioning is always dis-
engaged. Other functions are still controlled
automatically. When defroster is selected, the
air conditioning system is set for maximum
blower speed and dehumidification.
DefrosterThis function defrosts/de-ices
the windshield and front side
windows. The indicator light
in the defroster button lights
when the function is active.
•Blower speed increases automatically and
the air conditioning will switch on (if not
already on and if the passenger compart-
ment blower is not turned off) to dehumid-
ify the air in the passenger compartment.
Air conditioning can be switched off by
pressing the AC button.
•Recirculation will not function while defrost
is engaged.
The climate system will return to its previous
settings when the defroster function is
switched off.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading

Quality grading information
ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST
CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS IN ADDITION TO THESE
GRADES
Quality grades can be found, where appli-
cable, on the tire sidewall between the tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
TREADWEARThe treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified gov-
ernment test course. For example, a tire gra-
ded 150 would wear one and one half (1 1/2)
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 many depart signifi-
cantly from the norm due to variation in driving
habits, maintenance practices and differences
in road characteristics and climate.
TRACTIONThe traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test sur-
faces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked Cmay have poor traction performance. The trac-
tion grade assigned to this tire is based on
braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and is
not a measure of cornering (turning) traction.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on braking (straight-ahead) traction
tests and is not a measure of cornering
(turning) traction.
TEMPERATUREThe temperature grades are A (the highest), B,
and C, representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and reduce
tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds
to a minimum level of performance that all pas-
senger vehicle tires must meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B
and A represent higher levels of performance
on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-
inflation, or excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can cause heat
buildup and tire failure.
