■Temperature A, B, C
The 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.
Grade C corresponds to a level of perfor mance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle 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 grades of a tire assume that it is properly inflated and
not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessiv e loading, either separately or in com-
bination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

●Did you press the engine switch while firmly depressing the brake pedal?
(P. 1 5 9 )
●Is the shift lever in P? ( P. 161)
●Is the electronic key anywhere detectable inside the vehicle? ( P. 1 1 4 )
●Is the steering wheel unlocked? ( P. 161)
●Is the electronic key battery weak or depleted?
In this case, the engine can be started in a temporary way. (P. 4 8 9 )
●Is the battery discharged? ( P. 4 9 0 )
●Is the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode?
If you cannot release the shift lever by depressing the brake pedal with the
