Driving instructions
Tire speed rating
Your vehicle is factory equipped with
“V”-rated tires, which have a speed rating
of 149 mph (240 km/h).
Winter driving instructions
Regardless of the tire speed rating, local
speed limits should be obeyed. Use pru-
dent driving speeds appropriate to prevail-
ing conditions.
The most important rule for slippery or icy
roads is to drive sensibly and to avoid
abrupt acceleration, braking and steering
maneuvers. Do not use the cruise control
system under such conditions.
An electronic speed limiter prevents your
vehicle from exceeding a speed of
130
mph (210 km/h).
Warning!
G
When the vehicle is in danger of skidding,
move gear selector lever to position N. Try
to keep the vehicle under control by cor-
rective steering action.

For information on speed rating for
winter tires, see “Winter driving”
(୴ page 275).
Even when permitted by law, never operate
a vehicle at speeds greater than the maxi-
mum speed rating of the tires.
For additional general information on
tire speed markings on tire sidewall,
see “Tire speed rating” (୴ page 273).
i
For information on driving with snow
chains, see “Snow chains”
Exceeding the maximum speed for which
tires are rated can lead to sudden tire fail-
ure, causing loss of vehicle control and pos-
sibly resulting in an accident and/or serious
injury and possible death, for you and for
others.

Warning!
G
On slippery road surfaces, never downshift
in order to obtain braking action. This could
result in drive wheel slip and reduced vehi-
cle control. Your vehicle’s ABS will not pre-
vent this type of control loss.
