̈

page 696).

Warning!

G

Do not drive with a flat tire. A flat tire affects

the ability to steer or brake the vehicle. You

may lose control of the vehicle. Continued

driving with a flat tire will cause excessive

heat build-up and possibly a fire.

Follow recommended tire inflation pres-

sures.

Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires

wear excessively and/or unevenly, adverse-

ly affect handling and fuel economy, and are

more likely to fail from being overheated. Do

not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires can

adversely affect handling and ride comfort,

wear unevenly, increase stopping distance,

and result in sudden deflation (blowout) be-

cause they are more likely to become punc-

tured or damaged by road debris, potholes

etc.
