Maintenance Tires and wheels
Tires and wheels
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribu
-
tion recommended for your vehicle.
Recommended cold tire inflation
pressures
All tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. "Cold Tires"
means the vehicle has not been
driven for at least three hours or
driven less than one mile (1.6 km).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, vehicle
handling, and minimum tire wear.
For recommended inflation pres
-
sure, refer to "Tires and wheels" on
page 9-4.
All specifications (sizes and pres
-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the driver's side center
pillar.
WARNING
Tire Underinflation
Inflate your tires consistent with the
instructions provided in this man
-
ual. Severe underinflation (10 psi (70
kPa) or more) can lead to severe
heat build-up, causing blowouts,
tread separation and other tire fail
-
ures that can result in the loss of
vehicle control. This risk is much
higher on hot days and when driving
for long periods at high speeds.
Failure to maintain specified pres
-
sure may result in excessive wear,
poor handling, reduced fuel econ
-
omy, deformation of tire and/or
wheel, harsh ride conditions, possi
-
bility for additional damage from
road hazards, or result in tire failure.
Tire pressure
Always observe the following:
僅 Check tire pressure when the tires
are cold. (After vehicle has been
parked for at least three hours or
hasn't been driven more than one
mile (1.6 km) since startup.)
僅 Check the pressure of your spare
tire each time you check the pres
-
sure of other tires.
僅 Never overload your vehicle. Be
careful not to overload a vehicle
luggage rack if your vehicle is
equipped with one.
