Subaru Forester: Uniform tire quality grading standards / TREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled
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 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.
This information indicates the relative
performance of passenger car
tires in the area of treadwear,
traction, and temperature resistance.
This is to aid the consumer
in making an informed choice in the
purchase of tires.
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tire sidewall betw..
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...
Other information:
At the time when a user is registered, the
seat position, outside mirror angle, and
reverse tilt-down outside mirror angle are
registered at the same time. To change the
setting for the seat position, outside mirror
angle, or reverse tilt-down outside mirror
angle, refer to “Driver Monitoring System
settings”...
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are designed as follows:
To deploy in the event of an accident
involving a moderate to severe side impact
collision
To function on a one-time-only basis
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are not designed to deploy in the
following cases:
In most lesser side impacts
In most frontal or most rear impacts
(because the SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain airbag deployment would not protect
the occupant in those situations)
The SRS curtain airbags are also designed
to deploy when the vehicle is in an
extremely inclined state such as during a
rollover...
