SERVICING YOUR TIRES

Checking the tire pressure
• Use an accurate tire gauge.
• Check the pressure when the 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

Certifications Label.

• Check tires for proper air pressure monthly. Check spare tire for

proper air pressure every six months.

Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control, vehicle

rollover and/or personal injury.

Tire rotation
• Four tire rotation
To make sure your tires wear
evenly, rotate them as indicated in
the Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
If your tires wear unevenly, have
them checked.
