This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation
of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at
his own expense.
Toutes modifications apportées à cet
équipement qui ne sont pas expressément
homologuées par Robert BOSCH GmbH peuvent
annuler l'autorisation de la FCC de faire
fonctionner cet équipement.
Cet appareil a été vérifié et s'est révélé conforme
aux normes applicables aux appareils
numériques de catégorie A, en vertu de la section
15 des règlements de la FCC. Ces normes sont
définies pour fournir une protection raisonnable
contre les interférences nuisibles lorsque
l'équipement est utilisé dans les installations
résidentielles. Cet appareil génère, utilise et peut
émettre des ondes radioélectriques et, s'il n'est
pas installé et utilisé conformément au manuel
d’instruction, peut causer un brouillage radioélec-
trique nuisible aux communications radio. Le
fonctionnement de cet équipement dans une
zone résidentielle est susceptible de causer des
interférences nuisibles; dans ce cas, l'usager doit
corriger les interférences à ses propres frais. Radio Frequency Exposure Information
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed
and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm
between the radiator and your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
Déclaration d’exposition aux radiations
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites
d'exposition aux rayonnements IC établies pour
un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement
doit être installé et utilisé avec un minimum de
20 cm de distance entre la source de
rayonnement et votre corps.
Ce transmetteur ne doit pas etre place au meme
endroit ou utilise simultanement avec un autre
transmetteur ou antenne.
HIGHWAY ASSIST SYSTEM
(HAS) — IF EQUIPPED
The Highway Assist System (HAS) is a driving
assistance system that is only available when
driving on highways. The system operates up to
speeds of 90 mph (145 km/h).
The system uses information from the front
camera and radar to help keep the vehicle in the
center of the lane and at a constant speed.
HAS combines Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
functions with lane centering logic to control the
trajectory of the vehicle. HAS requires the driver’s
hands to remain on the steering wheel. Once HAS is activated, a dedicated screen will
appear on the instrument cluster display.
TO ACTIVATE/DEACTIVATE
To Activate
To activate the HAS system, push the button
located on the left side of the steering wheel.
Highway Assist Button
Suspension Conditions
The following operations will suspend the
HAS system:
Steer manually
Press the brake pedal
Disable the ACC system
Activate the turn signals
Push the ACC activation setting button for
two seconds to activate Cruise Control
Place the gear selector in PARK, REVERSE, or
NEUTRAL
Reactivating the ACC system will reactivate HAS

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

234

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 233. 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 224.
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.
SPARE TIRES — IF EQUIPPED

NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with Tire Service Kit
instead of a spare tire
Ú
page 189.
Spare Tire Matching Original Equipped
Tire And Wheel — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a spare tire
and wheel equivalent in look and function to the
original equipment tire and wheel found on the
front or rear axle of your vehicle. This spare tire
may be used in the tire rotation for your vehicle.
If your vehicle has this option, refer to an
authorized tire dealer for the recommended
tire rotation pattern.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped
The compact spare is for temporary emergency
use only. You can identify if your vehicle is
equipped with a compact spare by looking at the
spare tire description on the Tire and Loading
Information Placard located on the driver’s side
door opening or on the sidewall of the tire.
Compact spare tire descriptions begin with the
letter “T” or “S” preceding the size designation.
Example: T145/80D18 103M.
T, S = Temporary Spare Tire
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 unpredictable
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
overloading 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.
CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground clearance, do
not take your vehicle through an automatic car
wash with a compact or limited use temporary
spare installed. Damage to the vehicle may
result.
