■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing
the tire’s resistance to the ge neration of heat and its ability to dissi-
pate heat when tested under contr olled conditions on a specified
indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can c ause 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 performance which all passeng er
car tires must meet under the Fe deral Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the labo-
ratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is pro perly
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can c ause heat buildup and possible t ire
failure.

607What to do if... (Troubleshooting)
LC200_OM_OM60R53U_(U)
●Did you press the engine switch while firmly depressing the brake pedal?
( P. 207)
●Is the shift lever in P? ( P. 2 1 1 )
●Is the electronic key anywhere detectable inside the vehicle? ( P. 135)
●Is the steering wheel unlocked? (P. 2 1 1 )
●Is the electronic key battery weak or depleted?
In this case, the engine can be started in a temporary way. ( P. 556)
●Is the battery discharged? (P. 558)
●Is the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode?
If you cannot release the shift lever by depressing the brake p edal with the
engine switch in IGNITION ON mode ( P. 218)
●It is locked automatically to prevent theft of the vehicle. ( P. 2 1 1 )
●Is the window lock switch pressed?
The power window except for the one at the driver’s seat cannot be oper-
ated if the window lock switch is pressed. ( P. 165)
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
