If you press the flasher switch, the front and rear turn signals will flash intermittently, and so will the hazard warning lights. This is an emergency warning system and should not beused when the vehicle is in motion, except for emergencies. If you need to leave your
vehicle, the flashers
will keep working after the ignition switch is removed or the operation mode is put in OFF.
N00579300028
ECO mode is an eco-driving support systemwhich automatically controls the engine, air conditioning system,
4WD system (if so
equipped) and S-AWC (if so equipped) to improve fuel efficiency. Refer to Electronically controlled 4WD sys-tem” on page 5-82. Refer to “S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Con- trol)” on page 5-85. Refer to “Automatic climate control air con- ditioner” on page 7-5. The ECO mode starts working by pressing the ECO mode switch when the ignition switch or operation mode is in ON. Push the switch again
and the ECO mode will
cancel. While the ECO mode is working, an ECO mode indicator will be turned on.

condenser can get wet,
and the “ ” indicator blinks temporarily. Wait for a while, pres
s the air conditioning
switch once to turn the system off, then once more to turn it back on. Once the water evap-orates, the blinking will stop.

The temperature can be set within a range of around 61 (LO) to89 (HI) (when the outside temperature unit of the multi-information display shows °F) or 17 (LO) to 31 (HI) (when theoutside temperature
unit of the multi-

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 (11/2) 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 signifi-cantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service
practices and differ-
ences in road characteristics and climate. 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 as measured under contro
lled conditions on
specified government te
st surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor
traction performance.
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing the ti
re’s resistance to the
generation of heat and it
s ability to dissipate
heat when tested un
der 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 leadto sudden tire failure. The grade C corre- sponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels ofperformance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
N00939301997
Proper tire inflation pre
ssure is essential for
the safe and satisfac
tory operation of your
vehicle. The wrong tire pressure will causeproblems in three major areas:  Safety Too little pressure increases flexing in the tire and can cause tire failure. Too muchpressure can cause a tire to lose its ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and potholes could then ca
use tire damage that
may result in tire failure.
 Economy The wrong tire pressure can cause unevenwear patterns in the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce the tread life, and the tire will have to bereplaced sooner. Too little pressure also makes it harder for the tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel. Ride comfort and vehicle stability The superior riding ex
perience built into
your vehicle partly depends on the correct tire pressure. Too mu
ch pressure gives an
uncomfortable and ja
rring ride. Too little
pressure feels as if your vehicle is slow to respond. Unequal tire pressures can make steeringyour vehicle uneven
and unpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under nor- mal driving conditions is
listed on the placard
attached to the driver’s door sill.(Refer to “Tire and loading information plac- ard” on page 11-3.) The recommended inflation pressures undernormal driving conditions should be used for the tires listed below.
