■Tr e a d w e a r
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 a 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 significantly from the norm due to variations in driving
habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
■Tr a c t i o n A A , A , B , C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they rep-
resent the tire’s ability to stop on we t pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government te st 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 braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highes t), 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
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of perfor mance 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 grades for this tire are established for a tire that is prop-
erly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessiv e loading, either separately or in com-
bination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

639What to do if... (Troubleshooting)
NX200t_OM_USA_OM78081U
●Did you press the engine switch while firmly depressing the brake pedal?
(P. 1 9 3 )
●Is the shift position in P? ( P. 1 9 3 )
●Is the electronic key anywhere detectable inside the vehicle? ( P. 131)
●Is the steering wheel unlocked? ( P. 1 9 5 )
●Is the electronic key battery weak or depleted?
In this case, the engine can be started in a temporary way. (P. 5 7 8 )
●Is the battery discharged? ( P. 5 8 0 )
●Is the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode?
If you cannot release the shift lever by depressing the brake pedal with the
engine switch in IGNITION ON mode ( P. 5 7 5 )
●It is locked automatically to prevent theft of the vehicle. ( P. 1 9 5 )
●Is the window lock switch pressed?
The power window except for the one at the driver’s seat cannot be operated
if the window lock switch is pressed. ( P. 1 5 8 )
●The auto power off function will be operated if the vehicle is left in
ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode (the engine is not operating) for a
period of time. ( P. 1 9 5 )
If you think something is wrong
The engine does not start
The shift lever cannot be shifted from P even if you depress the brake
pedal
The steering wheel cannot be turned after the engine is stopped
The windows do not open or close by operating the power window
switches
The engine switch is turned off automatically
