Fuel
recommendation
General
information Depending on the region, many gas stations
sell fuel that has been customized to winter or
summer conditions. Fuel that is available in
winter, e.g., helps make a cold start easier.
Gasoline
General
information For the best fuel efficiency, the gasolineshould be sulfur-free or very low in sulfur conjtent.
Fuels that are marked on the gas pump as conj taining metal must not be used.
Fuels with a maximum ethanol content of
10 %, i. e., E10, may be used for refueling.
Ethanol should meet the following quality stanj dards:
US: ASTM 4806mxx
CAN: CGSB-3.511mxx
xx: comply with the current standard in each
case.Safety
information
NOTE
Do not press the Start/Stop button after
refueling with the wrong fuel. Furthermore, the
catalytic converter is permanently damaged.
There is a risk of property damage. Do not rej fuel or add the following in the case of gasoline
engines:'yLeaded gasoline.'yMetallic additives, e.g., manganese or iron.
Do not press the Start/Stop button after refuelj ing with the wrong fuel. Contact a dealerss
service center or another qualified service cenj
ter or repair shop.'

gine deposits, it is highly recommended topurchase gasoline from Top Tier retailers.
Failure to comply with these recommendations
may result in the need for unscheduled mainj tenance.'

Safety
information
WARNING
A tire with low or missing tire inflation
pressure impacts handling, such as steering
and braking response. There is a risk of an acj
cident. Regularly check the tire inflation presj sure, and correct it as needed, e.g., twice amonth and before a long trip.'

These pressure values can also be found onthe tire inflation pressure label on the driver's
door pillar.
Do not exceed a speed of 100 mph/160 km/h.

100. The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use, howj ever, and may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road characterisj tics and climate.
Traction The traction grades, from highest to lowest,are AA, A, B, and C.
Those grades represent the tire's ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction performance.
The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction tests,
and does not include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
Temperature
The temperature grades are A, the highest, B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the maj
terial of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire
life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger
vehicle tires must meet under the Federal Moj
tor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades
Band A represent higher levels of performance
on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is esj
tablished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflaj
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.'
