INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS
1. Speedometer
Indicates the speed of the car.
2. Fuel Level Gauge
The fuel gauge in the instrument panel indi -
cates the amount of fuel left in the tank.
The light comes on, together with a chime
and the display of a message in the instru -
ment cluster display, when the gas tank has
1.5 to 2 gallons (5 to 7 liters) of fuel
remaining.
3. Instrument Cluster Display
The vehicle can be equipped with multi
functional instrument cluster display which
offers useful information to the driver.
With the ignition in the OFF position (and
the key removed, for vehicles with a
mechanical key), opening/closing of a door
will activate the instrument cluster display
for viewing, and display the total miles or
kilometers in the odometer.
4. Engine Coolant Temperature
The temperature gauge on the instrument
panel displays the temperature of the
engine coolant and starts providing indica -
tions when the coolant temperature
exceeds approximately 122°F (50°C). In the normal use of the car, the temperature
gauge can move in different directions
based on the use of the car. The light comes
on, together with a chime and the display of
a message in the instrument cluster display,
to indicate an excessive increase in the
temperature of the engine coolant. Stop the
engine and contact an authorized dealer.
5. Tachometer
Indicates the engine speed in Revolutions
Per Minute (RPM x 1000).
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY
The vehicle is equipped with multi functional
instrument cluster display which offers useful
information to the driver. With the ignition in the
OFF position (and the key removed, for vehicles
with a mechanical key), opening/closing of a door
will activate the instrument cluster display for
viewing, and display the total miles or kilometers in
the odometer. The instrument cluster display is
designed to display important information about
the vehicle’s systems and features. Using a driver
interactive display located on the instrument
panel, your instrument cluster display can show
you how systems are working and give you
warnings when they aren’t. The steering wheel
mounted controls allow you to scroll through and enter the main menus and submenus. You can
access the specific information you want and
make selections and adjustments.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE279
Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as
little exposure to light as possible. Protect tires
from contact with oil, grease, and gasoline.
Replacement Tires
The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of
many characteristics. They should be inspected
regularly for wear and correct cold tire inflation
pressures. The manufacturer strongly
recommends that you use tires equivalent to the
originals in size, quality and performance when
replacement is needed Ú page 278. Refer to the
Tire and Loading Information placard or the
Vehicle Certification Label for the size designation
of your tire. The Load Index and Speed Symbol for
your tire will be found on the original equipment
tire sidewall.
See the Tire Sizing Chart example for more
information relating to the Load Index and Speed
Symbol of a tire Ú page 270.
It is recommended to replace the two front tires or
two rear tires as a pair. Replacing just one tire can
seriously affect your vehicle’s handling. If you ever
replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s
specifications match those of the original wheels.
It is recommended you contact an authorized tire
dealer or original equipment dealer with any
questions you may have on tire specifications or capability. Failure to use equivalent replacement
tires may adversely affect the safety, handling, and
ride of your vehicle.
TIRE TYPES
All Season Tires — If Equipped
All Season tires provide traction for all seasons
(Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter). Traction
levels may vary between different all season tires.
All season tires can be identified by the M+S, M&S,
M/S or MS designation on the tire sidewall. Use all
season tires only in sets of four; failure to do so
may adversely affect the safety and handling of
your vehicle.
Summer Or Three Season Tires —
If Equipped
Summer tires provide traction in both wet and dry
conditions, and are not intended to be driven in
snow or on ice. If your vehicle is equipped with
Summer tires, be aware these tires are not
designed for Winter or cold driving conditions.
Install Winter tires on your vehicle when ambient
temperatures are less than 40°F (5°C) or if roads
are covered with ice or snow. For more
information, contact an authorized dealer.
WARNING!
Do not use a tire, wheel size, load rating, or
speed rating other than that specified for your
vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved
tires and wheels may change suspension
dimensions and performance characteristics,
resulting in changes to steering, handling, and
braking of your vehicle. This can cause unpre
-
dictable handling and stress to steering and
suspension components. You could lose
control and have a collision resulting in
serious injury or death. Use only the tire and
wheel sizes with load ratings approved for
your vehicle.
Never use a tire with a smaller load index or
capacity, other than what was originally
equipped on your vehicle. Using a tire with a
smaller load index could result in tire over -
loading and failure. You could lose control and
have a collision.
Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having
adequate speed capability can result in
sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different
size may result in false speedometer and
odometer readings.
