Wear Indicators

Wear Indicators

The groove where the wear indicator is
located is about 1/16 inch (about 1.6 mm)
shallower than elsewhere on the tire. If the
tread has worn so that the indicator is
exposed, replace the tire.

Worn out tires have poor traction on wet
roads.

Tire Service Life

The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).

In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach five
years old. All tires, including the spare, should be removed from service after 10
years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear.

Tire and Wheel Replacement

Main

tenan

Tire and Wheel Replacement

Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating, and
maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall). Using tires of a
different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems such as the ABS and
Vehicle Stability Assist

(VSA

) system to work incorrectly.

It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn’t possible, replace the
front or rear tires in pairs.

Make sure that the wheel’s specifications match those of the original wheels.

Tire and Wheel Replacement

WARNING

Installing improper tires on your vehicle can
affect handling and stability. This can cause
a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or
killed.

Always use the size and type of tires
recommended in this owner’s manual.

Checking and Maintaining Tires

Tire Rotation

Main

Tire Rotation

Rotating tires according to the maintenance messages on the driver information
interface helps to distribute wear more evenly and increase tire life.

■

Tires without rotation marks

Rotate the tires as shown here.

■

Tires with rotation marks

Rotate the tires as shown here.

Tire Rotation

Tires with directional tread patterns should only be
rotated front to back (not from one side to the other).
Directional tires should be mounted with the rotation
indication mark facing forward, as shown below.

Whenever tires are rotated, you must calibrate the
TPMS.

Winter Tires

If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season marked

M+S

tires, snow tires,

or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufficient distance between vehicles when
driving.

Be particularly careful when operating the steering wheel or brakes to prevent
skidding.

Winter Tires

NOTICE

Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly
installed can damage your vehicle’s brake lines,
suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are
hitting any part of the vehicle.

When tire chains are mounted, follow the chain
manufacturer’s instructions regarding vehicle
operational limits.

If your vehicle is equipped with summer tires, be
aware that these tires are not designed for winter
driving conditions. For more information, contact a
dealer.

WARNING

Using the wrong chains, or not properly
installing chains, can damage the brake
lines and cause a crash in which you can be
seriously injured or killed.

Follow all instructions in this owner’s
manual regarding the selection and use of
tire chains.

Checking and Maintaining Tires

Winter Tires

Main

tenan

Use tire chains, snow tires, or all season tires when necessary or according to the
law.

When mounting, refer to the following points.

For winter tires:

•

Select the size and load ranges that are the same as the original tires.

•

Mount the tires to all four wheels.

For tire chains:

•

Install them on the front tires only.

•

Because your vehicle has limited tire clearance, we strongly recommend using the
chains listed below:

•

Follow the chain manufacturer’s instruction when installing. Mount them as
tightly as you can.

•

Check that the chains do not touch the brake lines or suspension.

•

Drive slowly.

the driver information interface will display a
warning message. If this happens, have your
vehicle inspected by a dealer.

Check the battery terminals for corrosion
monthly.

If your vehicle’s battery is disconnected or goes dead:

Climate Control System Maintenance

Air Conditioning

To ensure proper and safe operation, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE
J2845) recommends that the refrigerant system only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.

Never repair or replace the air conditioning evaporator (cooling coil) with one
removed from a used or salvaged vehicle.

New replacement mobile air conditioning evaporators must be certified (and
labeled) as meeting SAE Standard J2842.

Dust and Pollen Filter

The climate control system is equipped with a dust and pollen filter that collects
pollen, dust, and other debris in the air. The Maintenance Minder

messages will let

you know when to replace the filter.

We recommend that you replace the dust and pollen filter sooner when using your
vehicle in areas with high concentrations of dust.

Climate Control System Maintenance

NOTICE

Vented refrigerant is harmful to the environment.
To avoid refrigerant from venting, never replace the
evaporator with one removed from a used or
salvaged vehicle.

Refrigerant in your vehicle’s air conditioning system is
flammable and can be ignited during servicing if
proper procedures are not followed.

Exterior Care

Dust off the vehicle body after you drive.
Regularly inspect your vehicle for scratches on painted surfaces. A scratch on a
painted surface can result in body rust. If you find a scratch, promptly repair it.

Wash the vehicle regularly. Wash more frequently when driving in the following
conditions:

•

If driving on roads with road salt.

•

If driving in coastal areas.

•

If tar, soot, bird droppings, insects, or tree sap is stuck to painted surfaces.

•

Make sure to follow the instructions indicated on the automated car wash.

•

Fold in the door mirrors.

•

Keep sufficient distance between the cleaning nozzle and the vehicle body.

•

Take particular care around the windows. Standing too close may cause water to
enter the vehicle interior.

•

Do not spray high pressure water directly into the engine compartment. Instead,
use low pressure water and a mild detergent.

•

Do not spray water directly onto the camera or the area around it. Water may
enter the lens and cause the camera to malfunction.

A good coat of automotive body wax helps protect your vehicle’s paint from the
elements. Wax will wear off over time and expose your vehicle’s paint to the
elements, so reapply as necessary.

If you get gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or battery fluid on resin-coated parts, they
may stain or the coating may peel. Promptly wipe it away using a soft cloth and
clean water.

Wipe using a glass cleaner.

Aluminum is susceptible to deterioration caused by salt and other road
contaminants. When necessary, as early as possible use a sponge and mild detergent
to wipe away these contaminants. Do not use a stiff brush or harsh chemicals
(including some commercial wheel cleaners). These can damage the protective finish
on aluminum alloy wheels, resulting in corrosion. Depending on the type of finish,
the wheels also may lose their luster or appear burnished. To avoid water stains,
wipe the wheels dry with a cloth while they are still wet.

The inside lenses of exterior lights (headlights, brake lights etc.) may fog temporarily
if you have driven in the rain, or after the vehicle has been run through a car wash.
Dew condensation also may build up inside the lenses when there is a significant
enough difference between the ambient and inside lens temperatures (similar to
vehicle windows fogging up in rainy conditions). These conditions are natural
processes, not structural design problems in the exterior lights.
Lens design characteristics may result in moisture developing on the light lens frame
surfaces. This also is not a malfunction.
However, if you see large amounts of water accumulation, or large water drops
building up inside the lenses, have your vehicle inspected by a dealer.

be propelled into you or another occupant if the airbags deploy.

•

Be sure electronic accessories do not overload electrical circuits or interfere with
proper operation of your vehicle.

When driving with the compact spare tire, keep the
vehicle speed under 50 mph (80 km/h). Replace with
a regular tire as soon as possible.

The compact spare tire and wheel in your vehicle are
specifically for this model. Do not use them with
another vehicle. Do not use another type of compact
spare tire or wheel with your vehicle.

Do not mount tire chains on a compact spare tire.
If a chain-mounted front tire goes flat, remove one of
the regular rear tires and replace it with the compact
