. Do not inject anytireliquid or
aerosol tiresealant intothetires,
as this may cause amalfunction of
the tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION
. The TPMS maynotfunction properly
when thewheels areequipped with
tire chains orthe wheels areburied
in snow.
. Do not place metalized filmorany
metal parts(antenna, etc.)on the windows.
Thismay cause poorre-
ception ofthe signals fromthetire

not function properly.
Some devices andtransmitters maytemporarily
interfere withtheoperation ofthe TPMS and

When theforce applied tothe brake pedal

activated generating greaterbraking forcethana

The Brake Assist isonly anaid toassist

ANTI-L OCKBRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
GUID-AD93 4732-3AE5-459A-B8C3 -7A014C0C24D9
WARNING
. The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)
is asophisticated device,butit
cannot prevent accidents resulting
from careless ordangerous driving
techniques. Itcan help maintain
vehicle control duringbraking on
slippery surfaces. Remember that
stopping distances onslippery sur-
faces willbelonger thanonnormal surfaces
evenwithABS. Stopping
distances mayalso belonger on
rough, gravelorsnow covered
roads, orifyou areusing tirechains.
Always maintain asafe distance
from thevehicle infront ofyou.
Ultimately, thedriver isresponsible
for safety.
. Tire type andcondition mayalso
affect braking effectiveness.
Ð When replacing tires,install the
specified sizeoftires onallfour
wheels.
Ð When installing aspare tire,
make surethatitis the proper
size andtype asspecified onthe
Tire andLoading Information
label. SeeªTire andLoading
Information labelº(P.9-12) of
this manual.
Ð For detailed information, see
ª Wheels andtiresº (P.8-31) of
this manual.
The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)controls
the brakes sothe wheels donot lock during hard
braking orwhen braking onslippery surfaces.
The system detects therotation speedateach wheel
andvaries thebrake fluidpressure to
prevent eachwheel fromlocking andsliding. By
preventing eachwheel fromlocking, thesystem
helps thedriver maintain steeringcontroland
helps tominimize swerving andspinning on
slippery surfaces.

Depress thebrake pedalwithfirmsteady

ABS willoperate toprevent thewheels from
locking up.Steer thevehicle toavoid obstacles.
WARNING
Do not pump thebrake pedal. Doingso
may result inincreased stoppingdis-
tances.

Snow tires
GUID-7DBD9 178-687B-4889-BA79 -417F594D0 842
If snow tiresareneeded, itis necessary toselect
tires equivalent insize andload rating tothe
original equipment tires.Ifyou donot, itcan
adversely affectthesafety andhandling ofyour
vehicle.
Generally ,snow tireswillhave lower speed
ratings thanfactory equipped tiresandmay not match
thepotential maximum vehiclespeed.
Never exceed themaximum speedratingofthe
tire.
If you install snowtires,theymust bethe same
size, brand, construction andtread pattern onall

Use oftire chains maybeprohibited according
to location. Checkthelocal lawsbefore instal-
ling tirechains. Wheninstalling tirechains, make
sure theyarethe proper sizeforthe tires onyour
vehicle andareinstalled according tothe chain
manufacturer's suggestions.Useonly SAE
Class Schains. ClassªSºchains areused on
vehicles withrestricted tiretovehicle clearance.
V ehicles thatcanuseClass ªSºchains are
designed tomeet theSAE standard minimum
clearances betweenthetireand theclosest
vehicle suspension orbody component required
to accommodate theuse ofawinter traction
device (tirechains orcables) .The minimum clearances
aredetermined usingthefactory
equipped tiresize. Other typesmaydamage
your vehicle. Usechain tensioners whenre-
commended bythe tirechain manufacturer to
ensure atight fit.Loose endlinks ofthe tire
chain mustbesecured orremoved toprevent
the possibility ofwhipping actiondamage tothe
fenders orunderbody .If possible, avoidfully
loading yourvehicle whenusingtirechains. In
addition, driveatareduced speed.Otherwise,
your vehicle maybedamaged and/orvehicle
handling andperformance maybeadversely
affected.
Tire chains mustbeinstalled onlyonthe
front wheels andnotonthe rear wheels.
