DOT Tire Quality Grading
The tires on your vehicle meet all U.S. Federal Safety Requirements. All tires are also
graded for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance according to Department
of Transportation (DOT) standards. The following explains these gradings.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
For example:
Treadwear 200
Traction AA
Temperature A
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specied government test course. For
example, a tire graded 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 may depart signicantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices, and differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction
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 specied government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
WARNING: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead
braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
Temperature
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 specied 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 level of performance 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 grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly
inated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underination, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
Air Conditioning
To ensure proper and safe operation, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE J2845) recommends that the refrigerant system only be serviced by trained and certied technicians. Never repair or replace the air conditioning evaporator (cooling coil) with one removed from a used or salvaged vehicle. New replacement mobile air conditioning evaporators must be certied (and labeled) as meeting SAE Standard J2842.
Vented refrigerant is harmful to the environment. To avoid refrigerant from venting, never replace the evaporator with one removed from a used or salvaged vehicle.

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 51. For vehicles with navigation, 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 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 conrm the
door is unlocked. Wait to hear a beep to conrm 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 ind this? A: In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Turn 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 Voice
Prompt. Select Off.
