Warning!

G

Do not drive with a flat tire. A flat tire affects

the ability to steer or brake the vehicle. You

may lose control of the vehicle. Continued

driving with a flat tire will cause excessive

heat build-up and possibly a fire.

Warning!

G

Follow recommended tire inflation

pressures.

Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires

wear excessively and/or unevenly,

adversely affect handling and fuel economy,

and are more likely to fail from being over-

heated.

Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires

can adversely affect handling and ride

comfort, wear unevenly, increase stopping

distance, and result in sudden deflation

(blowout) because they are more likely to

become punctured or damaged by road

debris, potholes etc.
