SUGGESTIONS FOR
OBTAINING SERVICE
FOR YOUR VEHICLE
Prepare For The
Appointment
If you are having warranty work done,
be sure to have the right papers with
you. Take your warranty folder. All work
to be performed may not be covered by
the warranty. Discuss additional
charges with the service manager. Keep
a maintenance log of your vehicle's
service history. This can often provide a
clue to the current problem.
Prepare A List
Make a written list of your vehicle's
problems or the specific work you want
done. If you've had an accident or work
done that is not on your maintenance
log, let the service advisor know.
Be Reasonable With
Requests
If you list a number of items and you
must have your vehicle by the end of
the day, discuss the situation with the
service advisor and list the items in
order of priority. At many authorized
dealers, you may obtain a rental vehicle
at a minimal daily charge. If you need a
rental, it is advisable to make these
arrangements when you call for an
appointment.
IF YOU NEED
ASSISTANCE
The manufacturer and its authorized
dealer are vitally interested in your
satisfaction. We want you to be happy
with our products and services.
Warranty service must be done by an
authorized dealer. We strongly
recommend that you take the vehicle to
an authorized dealer. They know your
vehicle the best, and are most
concerned that you get prompt and
high quality service. The manufacturer's
authorized dealer have the facilities,
factory-trained technicians, special
tools, and the latest information to
ensure the vehicle is fixed correctly and
in a timely manner.
This is why you should always talk to an
authorized dealer service manager first.
Most matters can be resolved with this
process.
If for some reason you are still not
satisfied, talk to the general manager or
owner of the authorized dealer. They
want to know if you need assistance.
If an authorized dealer is unable to
resolve the concern, you may contact
the manufacturer's customer center.
Any communication to the
manufacturer's customer center should
include the following information:
Owner's name and address
Owner's telephone number (home
and office)

DEPARTMENT OF

UNIFORM TIRE
QUALITY GRADES
The following tire grading categories
were established by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The specific grade rating assigned by
the tire's manufacturer in each category
is shown on the sidewall of the tires on
your vehicle.
All passenger vehicle tires must
conform to Federal safety requirements
in addition to these grades.
Treadwear
The Treadwear grade is a comparative
rating, based on the wear rate of the
tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government
test course. For example, a tire graded
150 would wear one and one-half times
as well on the government course as a
tire graded 100. The relative
performance of tires depends upon the
actual conditions of their use, however,
and may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices, and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
284
CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE
Page 287 of 300
Traction Grades
The Traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. These
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.
Warning!
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 Grades
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 material 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 Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B
and 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
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, under-inflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.
