Adjusting the AIRSCARFvents
\nWARNINGRisk of burns causedbytheheating output from AIRSCARF beingtoohigh
When AIRSCARF is switched on,veryhot aircanflowfromthe outlet opening inthe headrestraints.
This couldresult in burns inthe immediatevicinity ofthe outlet opening.
Turnthe heating output down in goodtime.
Maintain a suitable distance fromtheoutlet opening.
NOTEDamagecausedtoAIRSCARFbythe use of protective covers
If a protective cover is placedoverthe frontseat headrestraints,theflowof air fromtheAIRSCARFvent is hindered.
This can cause AIRSCARFtooverheat and bedamaged.
Do not use protective coverson headrestraints with AIRSCARF.
Make surethatthere are no objects coveringtheintakegrille onthe back ofthe headrestraint.
You can adjustthe blower output of AIR‐SCARFvents1usingthe AIRSCARF button(→page97).
Adjustthe height of AIRSCARFvents1andthe current of airbyadjustingthe height ofthe headrestraint (→page 92).

Therelative performance of tires depends uponthe actual conditions oftheir use, however,andmay depart significantly fromthe norm duetovariations in driving habits, service practices anddifferences inroadcharacteristics and climateconditions.
Tractiongrade
\nDANGERRisk of accident duetoinade‐quate traction
The tractiongrade assignedtothis tire isbased onstraight-ahead braking tractiontests, and does not include either accelera‐tion, cornering,hydroplaning or peak tractioncharacteristics.
Always adaptyour drivingstyle anddrive at a speedtosuitthe prevailingtraffic andweather conditions.
NOTEDamagetothe drivetrain fromwheelspin
Avoid wheelspin.
The traction grades – from highesttolowest –are AA,A,B and C. Those gradesrepresentthetire's abilitytostop onwet pavement as meas‐ured under controlled conditions on specifiedgovernmenttestsurfaces made of asphalt andconcrete.
Temperaturegrade
\nWARNINGRisk of accident from tireoverheating and tirefailure
Thetemperature gradeforthis tire is estab‐lishedfor a tirethat is properly inflated andnotoverloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla‐tion, orexcessive loading, either separatelyor in combination, can causeexcessive heatbuild-up and possible tirefailure.
Observetherecommended tire pres‐sures andregularlycheckthe tire pres‐
sure of all tires includingthe sparewheel.
Adjustthe tire pressure as necessary.
Thetemperature grades are A (the highest), Band C. Theyrepresentthe tire'sresistancetothegeneration of heat and its abilitytodissipateheat whentested under controlled conditions ona specified indoor laboratorytestwheel. Sus‐tained hightemperature can causethe materialofthe tiretodegenerate andreduce tire life, andexcessivetemperature can leadtosudden tirefailure. Grade C correspondstoa level of per‐formance which all passenger car tires mustmeet undertherequirements ofthe US Depart‐ment ofTransportation.
