Reporting safety defects (USA) 13-2 13-2 13-2 13-3 13-4 13 – CONTINUED – 13-1 IMPREZA(NA) A1830BE-A (ENGLISH) J Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under con- trolled 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 perfor- mance 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 character- istics and climate. J 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 con- trolled conditions on specified government test sur- faces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. Consumer information and Reporting safety defects For U.S.A. The following information has been compiled ac- cording to Code of Federal Regulations “Title 49, Part 575”. Uniform tire quality grading standards This information indicates the relative performance of passenger car tires in the area of treadwear, trac- tion, and temperature resistance. This is to aid the consumer in making an informed choice in the pur- chase of tires. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maxi- mum section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A The quality grades apply to new pneumatic tires for use on passenger cars. However, they do not apply to deep tread, winter type snow tires, space-saver or temporary use spare tires, tires with nominal rim diameters of 12 inches or less, or to some limited production tires. All passenger car tires must confirm to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades. 13-2 IMPREZA(NA) A1830BE-A (ENGLISH) Consumer information and Reporting safety defects WARNING WARNING The temperature grade for this tire is estab- lished for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla- tion, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure. The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cor- nering, hydroplaning, or peak traction charac- teristics. J Temperature A, B, C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the genera- tion of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified in- door laboratory test wheel. Sustained high tempera- ture 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 car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards No. 109. Grades B and A repre- sent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. 13 – CONTINUED – 13-3 IMPREZA(NA) A1830BE-A (ENGLISH) Consumer information and Reporting safety defects Reporting safety defects (USA) If you believe that your vehicle has a de- fect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immedi- ately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Subaru of America, Inc. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of ve- hicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot be- come involved in individual problems be- tween you, your dealer, or Subaru of Amer- ica, Inc. To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in the Wash- ington D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other in- formation about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline. 13-4 IMPREZA(NA) A1830BE-A (ENGLISH) Index 14 14-1 Index . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
