Ambient Temperature Display
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, press the AMB button to display
the ambient temperature.

Climate Control Display
Climate control is displayed when the
climate control system is turned on (page
6-5).

Audio Display
Audio is displayed when the audio system
is turned on (page 6-23).

Display Dimmer Cancel Function
When driving at night on snowy or foggy
roads, or in other situations when the
display’s visibility is reduced due to glare
from surrounding brightness, the display
dimmer cancel function increases the
intensity of the display illumination.

be used when the headlight switch is in
the or position.
Press the DIMMER button to increase the
intensity of the display illumination.
Press the button again to return to the
previous display illumination.
NOTE
•
The displayed ambient temperature
may vary from the actual ambient
temperature depending on the
surrounding area and vehicle
conditions.
•
Press the AMB button again to
switch the display from ambient
temperature to the temperature set
for the air conditioner.
•
Press the AMB button 1.5 seconds
or more to switch the display from

Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQGS)
This information relates to the tire grading system developed by the U.S. National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration for grading tires by tread wear, traction, and
temperature performance.

Tr e a d We a r
The tread wear 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-a-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 because of variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

Traction-AA, A, B, C
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.

Temperature-A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, represent 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 temperatures can lead to sudden tire failure.
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.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQGS)
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction
tests and does not include acceleration cornering (turning), hydroplaning, or peak
traction characteristics.
