To avoid uneven wear of your tires and to
prolong their life, rotate the tires as illus-
trated. Tires should be rotated as recom-
mended in the periodic maintenance
schedule. After rotation, adjust front and
rear tire pressures to the specification
listed on your vehicle’s tire information
label.

Theft deterrent alarm system
A theft deterrent alarm system is armed in
about 20 seconds after you lock the doors.
Keyless push start system – Use the
remote controller or push the request
switch on driver’s door handle, front pas-
senger’s door handle or tailgate.
Keyless entry system – Use the transmit-
ter.
Once the system is armed, any attempt to
open a door by using any other means (*)
than the keyless push start system remote
controller, the request switch, the keyless
entry system transmitter or engine hood
(for EU specification vehicle) will cause the
alarm to be triggered.
* These means include the following:
– The key
– The lock knob on a door
– The power door locking switch
NOTE:
• The theft deterrent alarm system gener-
ates alarms when any of the predeter-
mined conditions is met. However, the
system does not have any function of
blocking unauthorized entry into your
vehicle.
• Always use the keyless push start sys-
tem remote controller, the request switch
or the keyless entry system transmitter
to unlock the doors when the theft deter-
rent alarm system has been armed.
Using a key instead will trigger the
alarm.
• If a person who does not know the theft
deterrent alarm system is going to drive
your vehicle, we recommend you explain
the system and its operation to the per-
son, or disable the system beforehand.
Mistakenly triggering the alarm may
cause a nuisance to others.
• Even if the theft deterrent alarm system
is armed, you should still be careful to
guard against theft. Do not leave money
or things of value in your vehicle.
