WHEELS AND TIRES
If you have a flat tire, see “Flat tire” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section.
TIRE PRESSURE
Maximum inflation pressure
Do not exceed the maximum inflation pres-
sures shown on the side wall of the tire.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressure (including spare) at
least once a month and always prior to long
distance trips. Incorrect tire pressure may
adversely affect tire life and vehicle handling.
Tire pressure should be checked when the
tires are COLD. Tires are considered COLD
after the vehicle has been parked for three or
more hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6
km) at moderate speeds. COLD tire pressures
are shown on the tire placard affixed to the
glove box lid.
WARNING
O Improperly inflated tires can fail
suddenly and cause an accident.
O The vehicle weight capacity is
indicated on the tire placard. Do
not load your vehicle beyond this
capacity. Overloading your ve-
hicle may result in reduced tire
life, unsafe operating conditions
due to premature tire failure, or
unfavorable handling character-
istics and could also lead to a
serious accident. Loading beyond
the specified capacity may also
result in failure of other vehicle
components.
O Before taking a long trip, or
whenever you have loaded your
vehicle heavily, use a tire pres-
sure gauge to ensure that the tire
pressure is at the specified level.
O Do not drive your vehicle over 85
MPH (140 km/h) unless it is
equipped with high speed capa-
bility tires. Driving faster than 85
MPH (140 km/h) may result in tire
failure, loss of control and pos-
sible injury.

garding tires, refer to “Important
