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[...]

check tire pr essure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they ar e under inflated. 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 co[...]

T ire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tir e inflation pressur e is very important.

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 [...]

W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have an accident resulting in serious injury or death. Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as possible. Pr otect [...]

W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspen- sion dimensions and performance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and brak- ing of your vehicle. This can cause unpredictable handling and stress to steering[...]

For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates and tend to develop irregular wear pat- terns. These effects can be r educed by timely rotation of tires. The benefits of r otatio[...]

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) — IF EQUIPPED The T ire Pressur e Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pr essure based on the vehicle recommended cold placar d pressur e (the placard is lo- cated on the drivers side B-pillar). The tire pr essure will vary with temperatur e by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°[...]

For example, your vehicle has a recommended cold (parked for more than 3 hours) placar d of 33 (227 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the measur ed tire pr essure is 28 psi (193 kPa), a temperatur e drop to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tir e pressur e to approxi- mately 24 psi (165 kPa). This tire pr essure is suf ficiently l[...]

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.
