Tire inflation pressure

Check the tire pressures (including the

spare) often and always prior to long dis-

tance trips. The recommended tire pres-

sure specifications are shown on the

F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label

or the Tire and Loading Information label

under the “Cold Tire Pressure” heading.

The Tire and Loading Information label is

affixed to the driver side center pillar. Tire

pressures should be checked regularly

because:

● Most tires naturally lose air over time.
● Tires can lose air suddenly when

driven over potholes or other objects

or if the vehicle strikes a curb while

parking.

The tire pressures should be checked

when the tires are cold. The tires are con-

sidered COLD after the vehicle has been

parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less

than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
Incorrect tire pressure, including un-

der inflation, may adversely affect

tire life and vehicle handling.

WARNING

Improperly inflated tires can fail

suddenly and cause an accident.

The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

(GVWR)

is

located

on

the

F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.

certifica-

tion label. The vehicle weight ca-

pacity is indicated on the Tire and

Loading Information label (if so

equipped). Do not load your ve-

hicle beyond this capacity. Over-

loading your vehicle may result in

reduced tire life, unsafe operat-

ing conditions due to premature

tire failure, or unfavorable han-

dling characteristics and could

also lead to a serious accident.

Loading beyond the specified ca-

pacity may also result in failure of

other vehicle components.

Before taking a long trip, or

whenever you heavily load your

vehicle, use a tire pressure gauge

to ensure that the tire pressures

are at the specified level.

Do not drive your vehicle over 85

MPH (137 km/h) unless it is

equipped with high speed rated

tires. Driving faster than 85 MPH

(137 km/h) may result in tire fail-

ure, loss of control and possible

injury.

For additional information re-

garding tires, refer to “Important

Tire Safety Information” (US) or

“Tire

Safety

Information”

(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-

mation Booklet.
