*1: This torque is equivalent to applying the following load at the end of the wheel nut wrench.When you use a wheel nut wrench of the10.8-inch (275 mm)length: Approximately 96 to 115 lbf (43 to 52 kgf)When you use a wheel nut wrench of the13.2-inch (335 mm)length: Approximately 73 to 87 lbf (33 to 40 kgf)If you have tightened the wheel nuts by yourself, have the tightening torque checked at the nearest automotive service facility as soon as possible.
*2: This torque is equivalent to applying approximately 87 to 109 lbf (40 to 49 kgf) at the end of the wheel nut wrench with a length of13.2 inches (335mm). If you have tightened the wheel nuts by yourself, have the tightening torque checked at the nearest automotive service facility as soon as possible.

XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4.The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For exam-
ple, if the“XXX”amount equals
1,400 lbs (635 kg) and there will be
five- 150 lbs (68 kg) passengers in
your vehicle, the amount of avail-
able cargo and luggage load capa-
city is 650 lbs. (1,400!750 (56
150) = 650 lbs).
5.Determine the combined weight
of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo
and luggage load capacity calcu-
lated in Step 4.
6.If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult
this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your ve-
hicle.
Uniform tire quality grading
standards
This information indicates the rela-
tive performance of passenger car
tires in the area of treadwear,
traction, and temperature resis-
tance. This is to aid the consumer
in making an informed choice in the
purchase of tires.
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tire sidewall be-
tween tread shoulder and maxi-
mum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Tem-
perature A
The quality grades apply to new
pneumatic tires for use on passen-
ger cars. However, they do not
apply to deep tread, winter type
snow tires, space-saver or tempor-
ary use spare tires, tires with
nominal rim diameters of 12 inches
or less, or to some limited produc-
tion tires.
All passenger car tires must con-
form to Federal Safety Require-
ments in addition to these grades.
&Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a compara-
tive rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under con-
trolled conditions on a specified
government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150
would wear one and one-half (1-
1/2) times as well on the govern-
ment 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
due to 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. Those
grades represent the tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on spe-
GAS STATION REFERENCE
&Fuel
Useunleaded gasolinewith an octane rating of87 AKI (90RON) or higher.
&Fuel octane rating
This octane rating is the average of the Research Octane andMotor Octane numbers and is commonly referred to as theAntiKnock Index (AKI). Refer to“Fuel octane rating”F7-2.
&Fuel capacity
16.9 US gal (64 liters, 14.1 Imp gal)
&Engine oil
Use only the following oils..API classification SM or SN with the words“ENERGYCONSERVING”or“RESOURCE CONSERVING”.or ILSAC GF-4 or GF-5, which can be identified with theILSAC certification mark (Starburst mark)
For the complete viscosity requirements, refer to“Engine oil”F12-4.
&Engine oil capacity
6.9 US qt (6.5 liters, 5.7 Imp qt)
The indicated oil quantity is only a guideline and is estimatedbased on a case when the engine oil is changed with an oilfilter. After refilling the engine with oil, the oil level should bechecked using an oil level gauge. For more details aboutmaintenance and service, refer to“Engine oil”F11-7.
&Cold tire pressure
Refer to“Tires”F12-8.
