7 and 8. Heated front seats (option)
Maximum heating : Press the button once - both LEDs light up.
Reduced heating : Press the button a second time - one LED lights up.
Seat heating off : Press the button a third time - no LEDs are lit.
9. Rear window and door mirror defrosters
Press to defrost the rear window and door mirrors.
The rear window and door mirrors are defrosted simultaneously if the switch is pressed once. The defrost function is
active if the LED in the switch is illuminated.
The function can be switched off manually by pressing the button.
The defrost function switches off automatically after 12-20 minutes, depending on the outside temperature.
NOTE
This function is automatically switched off when the power retractable hard top is down.
On certain markets, the defrost function may remain on longer than 20 minutes in cold weather to help keep the
rear window free from ice or condensation.
10. Temperature selector
The temperatures on the driver's and passenger's sides can be set separately using the knob (with the thermometer in
it). The temperature can be set for both sides of the car when the ignition is switched on (both LEDs will be on), which
means that a temperature setting will apply to both sides of the car.
To set the temperature on one side of the car:
Press the knob once. The LED for one side of the car will light up. Turn the knob to adjust the temperature.
Press the knob a second time to set the temperature on the opposite side of the car.
Press the knob a third time to set the temperature on both sides of the car at the same time.
NOTE
Selecting a temperature that is higher or lower than necessary will not heat or cool the passenger compartment faster.

The passenger compartment temperature sensor is located behind the climate system control panel.
The ambient temperature sensor is in the driver's side door mirror.
The humidity sensor is in the rearview mirror.
These sensors should never be obstructed.
NOTE
The sunlight sensor monitors the side of the vehicle from which the sun shines into the passenger compartment. This
means that the temperature may differ slightly between the left and right air vents, even if the climate system
temperature is set to be the same for both sides of the passenger compartment.

Vehicle loading
cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
WARNING
Exceeding the permissible axle weight, gross vehicle weight, or any other weight rating limits can cause tire
overheating resulting in permanent deformation or catastrophic failure.
Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the tires that were original equipment on the
vehicle because this will lower the vehicle's GVW rating. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the originals do
not increase the vehicle's GVW rating limitations.

Uniform tire quality gradings
Uniform tire quality gradings
ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS IN
ADDITION TO THESE GRADES
Quality grades can be found, where applicable, on the tire sidewall between the tread shoulder and maximum
section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
TREADWEAR
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 (1 1/2) 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 many depart
significantly from the norm due to variation in driving habits, maintenance practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
TRACTION
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, as measured under controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and is not a measure of
cornering (turning) traction.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and is not a measure of
cornering (turning) traction.
