ț If you have replaced the wheels or tires
ț If you have installed new wheels or

Warning!
G
Follow recommended tire inflation pres-
sures.
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 or vehicle capacity
weight (as indicated on the placard on the
driver’s door opening). Overloading the tires
can overheat them, possibly causing a blow-
out.
i
If you are transporting a deflated tire in
the vehicle, do not activate the tire
pressure monitoring system* until
ț the deflated tire is no longer in the
vehicle
ț you have inflated the tire to the cor-
rect pressure
