Changing Wiper Blades
If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning them first with a 
paper towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber has deteriorated, 
you should change the wiper blades.
1. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the
passenger side.
2. Press and hold the tab, then slide the blade from 
the wiper arm.
3. Slide the wiper blade out from its holder by pulling 
the tabbed end out.
4. Remove the retainers from the rubber blade that 
has been removed, and mount to a new rubber 
blade. Correctly align the rubber protrusion and the 
retainer grooves.
5. Slide the new wiper blade onto the holder from the 
bottom end. The tab on the holder should fit in the 
indent of the wiper blade.
6. Slide the wiper blade onto the wiper arm, then push 
down the lock tab.
7. Lower the passenger side wiper arm first, then the
driver side.

NOTICE
Tire Information
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and size, in good 
condition with adequate tread, and properly inflated.
Inflation Guidelines
• 
Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and 
comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or the specifications (see page 
148) for the specified pressure.
•  Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy,
and are more likely to fail from overheating.
• 
overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
• Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower than the 
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
• 
Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been 
parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If necessary, add 
or release air until the specified pressure is reached, and then calibrate the 
system (see page 121). If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 
4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.5 kgf/cm2) higher than checked when cold.
• 
At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure 
in all tires, including the spare. even tires in good condition can lose 1–2 psi
(10–20 kPa, 0.1–0.2 kgf/cm2) per month.
Inspection Guidelines
every time you inflate the tires, check for the following:
• Any damage to tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in the side 
or tread. Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. Replace tires if 
you see fabric or cord. 
•  Uneven or excessive tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.
•  Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.
Wear Indicators
The groove where the wear indicator is located is
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than elsewhere on the 
tire. If the tread has worn so low that the indicator is 
exposed, replace the tire. Worn out tires have poor
traction on wet roads.

Tire and Loading Information Label
The label attached to the driver’s doorjamb provides necessary tire and 
loading information.Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause\

a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire inflation
and maintenance
.
WARNING
Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating, and 
maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall). Using tires
of a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems to work 
incorrectly. It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn’t possible, 
replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match 
those of the original wheels. only use TPMS-specified wheels approved for your
vehicle.

Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability.
This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires recommended in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
Tire Service Life
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road 
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is 
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires re\
ach
five years old. All tires, including the spare, should be removed from service after 
10 years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or \
state of
wear.
Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked “M+S”, snow 
tires, or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufficient distance between 
vehicles when driving. For winter tires, select the size and load ranges that are the 
same as the original tires, and mount them to all four wheels.
Tire Chains
Install tire chains on the front tires only. Because your vehicle has limited tire 
clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains:
For 205/65R16 tires:
Cable-type: SCC Radial Chain SC1034
For 215/55R17 tires:
Cable-type: SCC Radial Chain SC1036
For 235/40R19 tires:
Cable-type: SCC Radial Chain SC1040
Mount chains as tightly as you can, and make sure that they do not touch\
the
brake lines or suspension.
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can damage your 
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are hitting 
any part of the vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage th\
e
brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or killed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of\
tire
chains.

Frequently Asked Questions/Troubleshooting
Below are some frequently asked questions and troubleshooting items that you may 
have about the vehicle.
Q: How do I set the vehicle clock?
A: For vehicles without navigation, see page 49. For vehicles with navigati\
on, the
time is automatically set using GPS signals.
Q: Why doesn’t the vehicle start when I press the ENGINE START/STOP button?*
A: The brake pedal (and/or clutch pedal*) must be pressed to start the engine.
Q: What is the AUTO setting on my headlight lever?
A: When in the AUTO position, the vehicle’ s exterior lights will automatically turn
 on or off depending on the ambient lighting.
Q: Why won’t the driver’s door unlock when I grab the door handle, even though 
 the keyless access remote is within range?*
A: If you pull the handle too quickly, the system may not have time to confirm the
 door is unlocked. Wait to hear a beep to confirm the door is unlocked. If you are
 wearing gloves, the system may be slow to respond.
Q: After my battery was disconnected or went dead, the audio system is asking for 
 a code. Where do I find this?
A: In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. T urn on the vehicle and the
 audio system, and press and hold the power button until the system reactivates.
Q: Why can’t I operate Pandora® through the audio system?*
A: Audio may be streaming through Bluetooth® Audio. Make sure Pandora mode
 is selected and the phone cable is properly connected to the USB adapter  
 cable (if using). Some phones may prompt you to “Allow” a connection.
Q: Is my phone compatible with Bluetooth features?
A: visit handsfreelink.com (U.S.) or www.handsfreelink.ca (Canada) to
 check phone compatibility for Bluetooth® Audio, Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®,
and SMS text messaging.
Q: Every time I press the Talk button, the system gives me voice prompts. Can I turn 
 these off?*
A: From the Home screen, select SETTINGS. Select System, then select V oice 
Prompt. Select off.
