Vehicle specifications
■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 conditions on a specified indoor labora-
tory 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.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car 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 grades of a tire assume that it is properly inflated
and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

In this case, the engine can be started in a temporary way.
(→ P. 5 2 1 )
●Is the battery discharged? ( →P. 523)
●Is the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode?
If you cannot release the shift lever by depressing the brake
pedal with the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode
(→ P. 5 1 7 )
●It is locked automatically to prevent theft of the vehicle.
(→P. 1 8 0 )
If you think something is wrong
The engine does not start
The shift lever cannot be shifted from P even if you depress the
brake pedal
The steering wheel cannot be turn ed after the engine is stopped
