SERVICING YOUR TIRES

Checking the tire pressure

Use an accurate tire pressure

gauge.

Check the tire pressure when

tires are cold, after the vehicle has

been parked for at least one hour or

has been driven less than 5 km

(3 miles).

Adjust tire pressure to

recommended specifications found

on the label on the inside of the fuel

filler door or on the safety

compliance label.

Improperly inflated tires

can affect vehicle handling

and can fail suddenly, possibly

resulting in loss of vehicle control.

Tire rotation

Because your vehicle's tires perform

different jobs, they often wear

differently. To make sure your tires

wear evenly and last longer, rotate

them as indicated in the Scheduled

Maintenance Guide". If you notice

that the tires wear unevenly, have

them checked.
