Aquaplaning
On packed snow, they can reduce
your stopping distance as com-pared
with summer tires. Stopping distance,
however, is still considerably greater
than when the road is wet or dry.
Parking
Depending on the depth of the water
layer on the road, aquaplaning may
occur, even at low speeds and with new
tires. Reduce vehicle speed, avoid track
grooves in the road and apply brakes
cautiously in the rain.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury
as a result of vehicle movement,
before turning off the engine and
leaving the vehicle always:
Tire Speed Rating
Your vehicle is factory equipped with an
"H"-rated tire, which has a speed rating
of 130 mph (210 km/h). An electronic
speed limiter prevents your vehicle from
exceeding the speed resting.
Tire Traction
1.  Keep right foot on brake
pedal.
The safe speed on a wet, snow covered
or icy road is always lower than on a
dry road.
2.  Firmly depress parking brake
pedal.
3.  Move the selector lever to
position "P".
4.  Slowly release brake pedal.
5.  Turn front wheels towards
the road curb.
6.  Turn the key to steering
lock position 0 and remove.
Notwithstanding tire speed rating, local
speed limits should be obeyed, and
prudent driving speeds appropriate to
prevailing conditions should be
employed.
You should pay particular attention to
the condition of the road whenever the
outside temperatures are close to the
freezing point.
Warning!
Warning!
Important!
If ice has formed on the road, tire
traction will be substantially
reduced. Under such weather
conditions, drive, steer and brake
with extreme caution.
Never operate a vehicle  at speeds
greater than  the maximum speed
rating of the  tires with which it is
equipped. Exceeding the maximum
speed for which tires are rated can
lead to sudden tire failure,  causing
loss of vehicle  control, and
It is advisable to set the parking brake
whenever parking or leaving the
vehicle. In addition, move selector
lever to position "P".
We recommend M + S radial-ply tires
for the winter season for all four wheels
to insure normal balanced handling
characteristics.
When parking on hills, always set the
parking brake.
resulting in  personal injury and
possible death.
