Maintenance
ClIMATE CONTROl AIR FIlTER (IF EquIPPEd)
Filter inspection
If the vehicle is operated in the
severely airpolluted cities or on
dusty rough roads for a long period,
it should be inspected more fre
quently and replaced earlier. When
you, the owner, replace the climate
control air filter, replace it performing
the following procedure, and be care
ful to avoid damaging other compo
nents.
Replace the filter according to the
maintenance Schedule.
Filter replacement
1. Open the glove box.2. Push in both sides of the glove box
as shown. This will ensure that the
glove box stopper pins will get
released from its holding location
allowing the glove box to hang.

3. Remove the climate control air fil
ter cover while pressing the lock
(1) on the both side of the cover. 4. Replace the climate control air filter.
5. Reassemble in the reverse order
of disassembly.
Information
When replacing the climate control
air filter install it properly. Otherwise,
the system may produce noise and the
effectiveness of the filter may be
reduced.i

Maintenance
Reset items
Items should be reset after the bat
tery has been discharged or the bat
tery has been disconnected.
• Auto up/down window (See chapter 3)
• Climate control system (See chapter 3)
• Audio (See chapter 3)
• Clock (See chapter3)
• Trip computer (See chapter 3)
When recharging the battery,
observe the following precautions:
•Before performing maintenance or
recharging the battery, turn off all
accessories and stop the engine.
•Do not allow cigarettes, sparks, or
flame near the battery.
•Wear eye protection when
checking the battery during
charging.
•The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed in
an area with good ventilation.
•Watch the battery during charg
ing, and stop or reduce the
charging rate if the battery cells
begin gassing (boiling) violently
or if the temperature of the elec
trolyte of any cell exceeds 49°C
(120°F).
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•The negative battery cable must
be removed first and installed
last when the battery is discon
nected.
•Disconnect the battery charger in
the following order.
1. Turn off the battery charger
main switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp
from the negative battery ter
minal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp
from the positive battery ter
minal.

4. Tire ply composition and materi
al
The number of layers or plies of rub
bercoated fabric in the tire. Tire
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials in the tire, which include
steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
The letter "R" means radial ply con
struction; the letter "D" means diago
nal or bias ply construction; and the
letter "B" means beltedbias ply con
struction.
5. Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
This number is the greatest amount
of air pressure that should be put in
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure. Refer
to the Tire and Loading Information
label for recommended inflation
pressure.
6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that
can be carried by the tire. When
replacing the tires on the vehicle,
always use a tire that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tire.
7. Uniform tire quality grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tire sidewall
between tread shoulder and maxi
mum chapter width.
For example:
TREAD wear 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A
Tire age
Tires degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining
tread, it is recommended that tires
generally be replaced after six (6)
years of normal service. Heat
caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accel
erate the aging process. Failure
to follow this warning could cause
sudden tire failure, which could
lead to a loss of control and an
accident involving serious injury or
death.
WARNING

Maintenance
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara
tive rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified govern
ment test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear oneanda
half times (1) as well on the gov
ernment 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.
These grades are molded on the
sidewalls of passenger vehicle tires.
The tires available as standard or
optional equipment on your vehicle
may vary with respect to grade.
Traction AA, A, B & C
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 measured
under controlled conditions on spec
ified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked
C may have poor traction perform
ance.
Temperature A, B & C
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 condi
tions 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. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of perform
ance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
The traction grade assigned to this
tire is based on straightahead
braking traction tests, and does
not include acceleration, corner
ing, hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.
