Recommended tire inflation pressure

Your vehicle is equipped with the Tire and
Loading Information placard located on
the driver’s door B-pillar (

page 280).

The tire inflation pressure should be
checked regularly and should only be
adjusted on cold tires. The tires can be
considered cold if the vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours or driven less
than 1 mile (1.6 km).

Follow recommended cold tire inflation
pressures listed on the Tire and Loading
Information placard on the driver’s door
B-pillar.

Keeping the tires properly inflated
provides the best handling, tread life and
riding comfort.

In addition to the Tire and Loading
Information placard on the driver’s door
B-pillar, also consult the tire inflation
pressure label (if available) on the inside of
the fuel filler flap (

page 264) for any

additional information pertaining to special
driving situations. For more information,
see “Important notes on tire inflation
pressure” (

page 287).

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.

Do not overload the tires by exceeding the

specified load limit as indicated on the Tire

and Loading Information placard on the

driver’s door B-pillar. Overloading the tires

can overheat them, possibly causing a

blowout. Overloading the tires can also

result in handling or steering problems, or

brake failure
