All vehicles with directional tires(front tires on the left side of thediagram)
Sometimes irregular tire wear canbe corrected by rotating the tires.
USING SUMMER TIRES
Summer tires provide superiorperformance on wet and dry roads.Summer tires do not have the Mud andSnow (M+S or M/S) tire traction rating onthe tire side wall. Since summer tires donot have the same traction performanceas All-season or Snow tires, we do notrecommend using summer tires whentemperatures drop to approximately 45°F(7°C) or below (depending on tire wearand environmental conditions) or in snowand ice conditions. Like any tire, summertire performance is affected by tire wearand environmental conditions. If you mustdrive in those conditions, we recommendusing Mud and Snow (M+S, M/S),All-season or Snow tires.
Always store your summer tires indoors attemperatures above 20ºF (-7ºC). Therubber compounds used in these tires loseflexibility and may develop surface cracksin the tread area at temperatures below20ºF (-7ºC). If the tires have beensubjected to 20ºF (-7ºC) or less, warm
them in a heated space to at least 40ºF(5ºC) for at least 24 hours before installingthem on a vehicle, or moving the vehiclewith the tires installed, or checking tireinflation. Do not place tires near heatersor heating devices used to warm the roomwhere the tires are stored. Do not applyheat or blow heated air directly on the tires.Always inspect the tires after storageperiods and before use.
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNING
If you choose to install snow tires onyour vehicle, they must be the samesize, construction, and load range asthe original tires listed on the tire placard,and they must be installed on all fourwheels. Mixing tires of different size orconstruction on your vehicle can adverselyaffect your vehicle's handling and braking,and may lead to loss of vehicle control.
Do not use snow chains or cables on thisvehicle as they may cause damage to yourvehicle which may lead to loss of vehiclecontrol.
Snow chains or cables have not beenapproved for use on your vehicle.
The original equipment tires on your vehiclemay have an all-weather tread design toprovide traction, handling, and brakingperformance in year-round driving. Youmay install snow tires for improved tractionwhen driving in areas with sustainedperiods of snow or icy driving conditions

Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (ifequipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with theIntelligent Oil-Life Monitor system, whichdisplays a message in the informationdisplay at the proper oil change interval.This interval may be up to two years or20000 miles (32000 kilometers).
A message appears in the informationdisplay when it is time for an oil change.Make sure you perform the oil changewithin two weeks or 500 miles (800kilometers) of the message appearing.Make sure you reset the Intelligent Oil-LifeMonitor after each oil change. See EngineOil Check (page 254).
If your information display resetsprematurely or becomes inoperative, youshould perform the oil change interval atsix months or 5000 miles (8000kilometers) from your last oil change.Never exceed two years or 20000 miles(32000 kilometers) between oil changeintervals.
