TIRE QUALITY GRADES
The following tire grading categories were established by
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The
specific grade rating assigned by the tire’s manufacturer
in each category is shown on the sidewall of the tires on
your vehicle.
All passenger vehicle 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 specified government test course. For
example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half
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
significantly from the norm due to variations in driving
habits, service practices, and differences in road charac-
teristics and climate.
Traction Grades
The Traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B,
and C. These grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on
wet pavement, as measured under controlled conditions
on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction perfor-
mance.

General Information
The following regulatory statement applies to all radio
frequency (RF) devices equipped in this vehicle:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and
with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired op-
eration.
NOTE:Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user ’s authority to operate the equipment.
REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
This system uses the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter to start the engine conve-
niently from outside the vehicle while still
maintaining security. The system has a range of
246 ft (75 m).
The Remote Starting System also activates the Climate
Control and (if equipped) the optional heated seats and
optional heated steering wheel depending on tempera-
tures outside and inside the car.
NOTE:
•The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic
transmission to be equipped with Remote Start.
•Obstructions between the vehicle and RKE transmitter
may reduce this range.

NOTE:As a protective measure, the pump will stop if
the switch is held for more than 30 seconds. Once the
lever is released, the pump will resume normal opera-
tion.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned
to the STOP/OFF position, the wiper will automatically
return to the “park” position.
Rear Window Defroster
The rear window defroster button is located with
the Climate Controls on the instrument panel.
Push this button to turn on the rear window defroster. An
indicator in the button will illuminate when the rear
window defroster is on. The rear window defroster
automatically turns off after approximately 20 minutes.
To manually shut the defroster off, push the button a
second time.CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the heating elements:
•Use care when washing the inside of the rear
window. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on
the interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth
and a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be peeled off after
soaking with warm water.
•Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abrasive
window cleaners on the interior surface of the
window.
•Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.

Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of
pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the
ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof in certain open or par-
tially open positions. This is a normal occurrence and can
be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear
windows open, open the front and rear windows to-
gether to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs
with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to
minimize the buffeting or open any window.

Manual Climate Controls — If Equipped
The Manual Climate Controls consist of a series of rotary
dials with inner push buttons.1. Blower Control
Rotate this control to regulate the amount of air forced
through the ventilation system in any mode. The blower
speed increases as you move the control clockwise from
the “0” (OFF) position.
2. Temperature Control
Rotate this control to regulate the temperature of the air
inside the passenger compartment. Rotating the dial
counter-clockwise into the blue area of the scale indicates
cooler temperatures, while rotating clockwise into the red
area indicates warmer temperatures. Rotating the Tem-
perature Control all the way counter-clockwise results in
turning on the MAX A/C feature.
Manual Temperature Controls (MTC)

Activation of this function is indicated by the rear defrost
indicator light on the instrument panel turning on. The
function is automatically deactivated after 20 minutes.
If equipped, push the rear defrost button to activate the
defrosting of door mirrors and heated rear window.
CAUTION!
To avoid causing damage to the rear window de-
froster heating filaments do not affix stickers or other
objects to the inside of the rear glass.
Air Recirculation
Push and release the Air Recirculation button so that the
LED is on, to enter recirculation mode. It is recommended
to turn the internal air recirculation on while standing in
traffic or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air.Do not use the function for a long period of time,
particularly if there are many passengers in the vehicle,
to prevent the windows from misting up.
NOTE:
Internal air recirculation makes it possible to reach
the required heating or cooling conditions quickly depend-
ing on the mode selected. Do not use the internal air
recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would con-
siderably increase the possibility of the windows misting.
System Maintenance
In Winter, the Climate Control system must be turned on
at least once a month for approximately 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized dealership
before the summer.
NOTE:The system uses R-1234yf (refrigerant) which
does not pollute the environment in the event of acciden-
tal leakage. Under no circumstances is the use of R-134a
(refrigerant) allowed.
