DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADES The following describes the tire grading categories estab- lished by the National highway Traffic Safety Adminis- tration. The specific grade rating assigned by the tire’s manufacturer in each category is shown on the sidewall of the tires on your car. All Passenger Car Tires Must Conform to Federal Safety Requirements in Addition to These Grades. Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled con- ditions on a specified government test course. For ex- ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a 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 may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
IF YOU NEED CONSUMER ASSISTANCE 373
Traction AA, A, B, C 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 controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction perfor- mance.
WARNING!
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
11
374 IF YOU NEED CONSUMER ASSISTANCE
Temperature A, B, C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing 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 temperatures can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The 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.
WARNING!
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive load- ing, either separately or in combination, can cause heat build-up and possible tire failure.

NOTE 1. In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to receive the registered ID code from the key. This means the engine will not start even when the regis- tered key is turned to the 9START9 position: • When the key comes into contact with a metallic or
magnetic object.
• When the key comes into contact with another immobilizing key, or with some other transponder.
In case like these, the theft-alarm indicator (located in the instrument cluster) will blink after 10 seconds. The theft-alarm indicator will flash for approximately 30
seconds and then go off. Remove the above object from the key and turn the key back to the 9ACC9 or 9LOCK9 position. Then try again to start the engine. If the engine does not start, consult an authorized dealer.2. Since there is a transponder built into the key, be careful not to cause shock to the key, such as by dropping it or by putting heavy objects on top of it. 3. Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to heat caused by the high temperature and high humidity. 4. Sentry key is not compatible with remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. 5. A system failure is suspected when the ignition key is turned to the 9START9 position, the engine does not start. In such a case, consult an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Do not make any alterations or additions to the sentry key system. Any alterations or additions could cause failure of the sentry key.
