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 specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained 
high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and re\
duce
tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. Th\
e 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 inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or 
excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup 
and possible tire failure.
Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has “readiness codes” as part of the onboard self-diagnostic system. 
Some states refer to these codes as a test to see if your vehicle’s emissions
components are working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the 
testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine\
. The
malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes off, the 
readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness codes are set, 
prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).
4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle\
for 20
seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in Park (P). Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it 
there for about 3 minutes.
6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7. Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed 
of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway with 
the vehicle in Drive. Do not use cruise control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 
seconds without using the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly;
this is OK.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of traffic 
conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat two more times (\
for a total of
90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic conditions 
allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal.
9. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again 
only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you may be 
requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your dealer.

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 54. 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 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. 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.
Some phones may prompt you to “Allow” a connection.
Q: Is my phone compatible with Bluetooth features?
A: Visit handsfreelink.com (U.S.) or 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?*
