Maintenance
DOT Tire Quality Grading (U.S. Vehicles)
The tires on your vehicle meet all U.S. Federal Safety 
Requirements. All tires are also  graded for treadwear, traction, 
and temperature performance a ccording to Department of 
Transportation (DOT) standards. The following explains these 
gradings.
Quality grades can be found where  applicable on the tire sidewall 
between tread shoulder an d maximum section width.
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear 
rate of the tire when tested un der controlled conditions on a 
specified 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 significantly from  the norm due to variations in 
driving habits, service practices and differences in road 
characteristics and climate.
■Uniform Tire Quality Grading
■Treadwear
1 Uniform Tire Quality Grading
For example:
Treadwear 200
Traction AA
Temperature A
All passenger car tires must conform 
to Federal Safety Requirements in 
addition to these grades.

Maintenance
Heating and Cooling System*/Climate Control System* Maintenance
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 
certified technicians.
Never repair or replace the air conditioni ng evaporator (cooling coil) with one 
removed from a used or salvaged vehicle.
New replacement mobile air conditioning  evaporators must be certified (and 
labeled) as meeting SAE Standard J2842.
Dust and Pollen Filter
The heating and cooling system*/climate control system* is equipped with a dust 
and pollen filter that collects pollen, dust, and other debris in the air. The 
Maintenance Minder
TM messages will let you know when to replace the filter.
We recommend that you replace the dust and pollen filter sooner when using your 
vehicle in areas with high  concentrations of dust.
1Heating and Cooling System*/Climate Control System* 
Maintenance
NOTICE
Vented refrigerant is harmful to the environment.
To avoid refrigerant from  venting, never replace the 
evaporator with one re moved from a used or 
salvaged vehicle.
Refrigerant in your  vehicle’s air conditioning system is 
flammable and can be igni ted during servicing if 
proper procedures  are not followed.
Air Conditioner label is found under the hood: 2 Safety Labels  P. 69
2 Specifications  P. 586
1Dust and Pollen Filter
If the airflow from the heating and cooling system
*/
climate control system* deteriorates noticeably, and 
the windows fog up easily, the  filter may need to be 
replaced. Please contact a dealer for replacement.

and contact a dealer for repairs immediately.
If the Charging System  Indicator Comes On
■Reasons for the indicator to come on
Comes on when the battery is not being charged.
■What to do when th e indicator comes on
Turn off the climate control system*/heating and cooling system*, rear 
defogger, and other electrical system s, and immediately contact a dealer 
for repairs.
1 If the Low Oil Pressure Indicator Comes On
NOTICE
Running the engine with low oil pressure can cause 
serious mechanical damage almost immediately.
