„ Tire pressures
Check and, if necessary, adjust the pres-
sure of each tire (including the spare) at
least once a month and before any long
journey.
Check the tire pressure when the tires are
cold.
Use a pressure gauge to adjust the tire
pressures to the values shown on the tire
placard.
Refer to the “Tires and wheels” section in
chapter 11 for detailed information.
„ California proposition 65
warning
„ On-pavement and off-road
driving
This vehicle is classified as a utility vehi-
cle. Utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of ve-
hicles. Your B9 TRIBECA has a higher
ground clearance and higher center of
gravity, making it more likely to roll over
than ordinary passenger cars. It also han-
dles and maneuvers differently from other
passenger cars. For this reason, please
read carefully the “On-pavement and off
road driving” section in chapter 8 of this
owner’s manual and follow the instruc-
tions and precautions in order to prevent
serious injury or death due to loss of con-
trol, rollover and other accidents.
Driving at high speeds with exces-
sively low tire pressures can cause
the tires to deform severely and to
rapidly become hot. A sharp in-
crease in temperature could cause
tread separation, and destruction of
the tires. The resulting loss of vehi-
cle control could lead to an acci-
dent.
Engine exhaust, some of its constit-
uents, and certain vehicle compo-
nents contain or emit chemicals
known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. In addi-
tion, certain fluids in vehicles and
certain components of product wear
contain or emit chemicals known to
the State of California to cause can-
cer and birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm.
