WARNING

Tire failure may cause loss of vehicle control and result in an accident. To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, observe the following precautions:

  • Check your tires monthly for proper inflation, wear, and damage.
  • The recommended cold tire inflation pressure for your vehicle can be found in this manual and on the tire placard located on the driver's side center pillar. Always use a tire pressure gauge to measure tire pressure. Tires with too high or too low pressure wear unevenly and cause poor handling.
  • Check the spare tire pressure each time you check the pressure of the other tires on your vehicle.
  • Replace tires that are worn, unevenly worn, or damaged. Worn tires may result in reduced braking, steering, or traction performance.
  • ALWAYS replace tires with the same size as the original tires supplied with this vehicle. Using tires and wheels of sizes other than those recommended may result in unusual handling characteristics, poor vehicle control or adversely affect your vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), which may lead to a serious accident.
