228 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING[...]

W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them. TIRES — GENERAL INFORMA TION Tire Pressure Proper tir e inflation pressur e is essential to the safe and satisfactory [...]

2. Economy— Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Under inflation, also increases tire r olling resistance and r esults in higher fuel consump- tion. 3. Ride Comfort and V ehicle Stabili[...]

CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure.” Cold tire inflation pr essure is defined as[...]

W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious accident. Don’t drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h). Radial-Ply Tires W ARNING! Combining radial ply tires with other types of [...]

These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm). When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the tir e [...]

Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle pr ovide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tir e inflation pressur e. The manu- facturer str ongly recommends that you use tir es equiva- lent to the originals in size, quality and performance when replacement is needed (r efer to the parag[...]

CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings. Alignment And Balance Poor suspension alignment may result in: • Fast tire wear . • Uneven tire wear , such as feathering and one-sided wear . • V ehicle pull to right or left. T ires may also cause the vehicle to pull to [...]

CAUTION! T o avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the following precautions: • Because of restricted chain clearance between tires and other suspension components, it is important that only chains in good condition are used. Broken chains can cause serious damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could indicate chain br[...]

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) — IF EQUIPPED • The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pr essure based on the vehicle recommended cold placar d pressur e. • The tire pr essure will vary with temperatur e by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that when the outside temperature de[...]

− For example, your vehicle may have a recom- mended cold (parked for more than 3 hours) placar d pressur e of 30 psi (207 kPa). If the ambient tempera- ture is 68°F (20°C) and the measur ed tire pr essure is 27 psi (186 kPa), a temperature dr op to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tir e pressure to appr oximately 23 psi (157 kPa). This tire pr [...]

NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tir e care and maintenance, or to provide warning of a tir e failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pr essure gauge while adjusting your tire pr essure. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tir e causes the tire to over heat and can lead to tire failur e.
