Snow tires/studded tires
5
Owners who live in or regularly commute
through areas with sustained periods of snow or
icy driving conditions are strongly advised to fit
suitable winter tires to help retain the highest
degree of traction.
Tires for winter use:
•
It is important to install winter tires on all four
wheels to help retain traction during corner-
ing, braking, and accelerating. Failure to do
so could reduce traction to an unsafe level or
adversely affect handling.
•
Do not mix tires of different design as this
could also negatively affect overall tire road
grip.
•
Winter tires wear more quickly on dry roads
in warm weather. They should be removed
when the winter driving season has ended.
•
Studded tires should be run-in 300 –
600 miles (500 – 1000 km) during which
the vehicle should be driven as smoothly as
possible to give the studs the opportunity to
seat properly in the tires. The tires should
have the same rotational direction through-
out their entire lifetime.
NOTE
Please consult state or provincial regulations
restricting the use of studded winter tires
before installing such tires.
Tire pressure monitoring - overview

Introduction
Each tire, including the spare
6
(if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and infla-
ted to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
