WARNING!

(Continued)

• Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle

to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the
right or left.

• Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom-

mended cold tire inflation pressure.

Economy
Improper inflation pressures can cause uneven wear

patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal

wear patterns will reduce tread life resulting in a need for

earlier tire replacement. Under-inflation also increases

tire rolling resistance resulting in higher fuel consump-

tion.

Ride Comfort And Vehicle Stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a comfortable ride.

Over-inflation produces a jarring and uncomfortable

ride.

Tire Inflation Pressures

The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on the

driver’s side B-Pillar or rear edge of the driver’s side

door.
At least once a month:

• Check and adjust tire pressure with a good quality

pocket-type pressure gauge. Do not make a visual

judgement when determining proper inflation. Tires

may look properly inflated even when they are under-

inflated.

• Inspect tires for signs of tire wear or visible damage.
