Rear window defogger switch
Press the rear window defogger switch
to defrost the rear window.
Refer to Rear Window Defogger on
page 4-59.
▼Operation of Automatic Air
Conditioner
1. Press the AUTO switch. Selection of
the airflow mode, air intake
selector and amount of airflow will
be automatically controlled.
2. Use the temperature control dial to select a desired temperature.
If you want to set the temperature
on the front passenger's side
separately from the driver's side,
turn the front passenger
temperature control dial to switch
the mode automatically to the
individual operation mode and set
the temperature for the front
passenger's side.
To turn off the system, press the power
switch.
NOTE
Set the control dial to the
recommended temperature of 22 °C
(72 °F), and then adjust it as desired.
Setting the temperature to maximum
hot or cold will not provide the
desired temperature at a faster rate.
When selecting heat, the system will
restrict airflow until the engine has
warmed to prevent cold air from
blowing out of the vents.
▼ Windshield Defrosting and
Defogging
Press the windshield defroster switch.
In this position, the outside air position
is automatically selected, and the air
conditioner automatically turns on.
The air conditioner will directly
dehumidify the air to the front
windshield and side windows on page
5-4.
Airflow amount will be increased.
WARNING
Set the temperature control to the hot
or warm position when defogging
(
position):
Using the
position with the
temperature control set to the cold
position is dangerous as it will cause
the outside of the windshield to fog
up. Your vision wi ll be hampered,
which could lead to a serious accident.
NOTE
Fogging on the windows clears up
more easily while the air conditioner
is on, but they will fog up more easily
if the air conditioner is turned off.
Be careful that the windows do not
fog up when doing any of the
following:
Switching to recirculate modeTu r n i n g off the air conditionerUse the temperature control dial to
increase the air flow temperature
and defog the windshield more
quickly.

▼Sunlight/Temperature Sensor
The climate control system measures
inside and outside temperatures,
humidity and sunlight using the
sunlight/temperature sensor. It sets
temperatures inside the cabin
accordingly.
CAUTION
Do not obstruct both sensors,
otherwise the climate control system
will not operate properly.

Uniform Tire Quality
Grading System (UTQGS)
▼ Uniform Tire Quality Grading
System (UTQGS)
This information relates to the tire
grading system developed by the U.S.
National Highway
Tra ffi c Safety
Administration for grading tires by
tread wear, traction, and temperature
performance.
▼ Trea d Wea 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.
WARNING
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.
▼ Te m p e ra t u r e - A , B , C
The temperature grades 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.
