GENERAL INFORMATION

A decal with tire pressure data is located
in the driver’s door opening.

Check and set the tire pressure at the
ambient temperature in which you are
intending to drive your vehicle and when
the tires are cold.

Note: Check your tire pressures regularly to
optimize fuel economy.

Note: Use only approved wheel and tire
sizes. Using other sizes could damage your
vehicle and will make the National Type
Approval invalid.

Note: If you change the diameter of the tires
from that fitted at the factory, the
speedometer may not display the correct
speed. Take your vehicle to an authorized
dealer to have the engine management
system reprogrammed.

Note: If you intend to change the size of the
wheels from that fitted at the factory, check
the suitability with an authorized dealer.

TIRE CARE

Important information for

205/40R17 low-profile tires

and wheels If your vehicle is

equipped with 205/40R17 tires,

they are low-profile tires. These

tires and wheels are designed to

give your vehicle a sport
appearance. With low-profile tires,

you may notice an increase in road
noise and faster tire wear,

depending on road conditions and

driving styles. Due to their design,

low-profile tires and wheels are

more prone to road damage from

potholes, rough or unpaved roads,
car wash rails and curb contact
than standard tires and wheels.

Note: Your vehicle’s warranty does
not cover these types of damage.
Tires should always be kept at the
correct inflation pressures and
extra caution should be taken when
operating on rough roads to avoid
impacts that could cause wheel
and tire damage.
