Recommended tire inflation pressure<br />

Warning! G<br />

Follow recommended tire inflation<br />

pressures.<br />

Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires<br />

wear excessively and/or unevenly,<br />

adversely affect handling and fuel economy,<br />

and are more likely to fail from being overheated.<br />

Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires<br />

can adversely affect handling and ride<br />

comfort, wear unevenly, increase stopping<br />

distance, and result in sudden deflation<br />

(blowout) because they are more likely to<br />

become punctured or damaged by road<br />

debris, potholes etc.<br />

Your vehicle is equipped with either the<br />

Tire and Loading Information placard<br />

(Example A) or the Vehicle Tire Information<br />

placard (Example B) located on the driver’s<br />

door B-pillar ( page 258).<br />

The tire inflation pressure should be<br />

checked regularly and should only be adjusted<br />

on cold tires. The tires can be considered<br />

cold if the vehicle has been parked<br />

for at least three hours or driven less than<br />

one mile (1.6 km).<br />

Follow recommended cold tire inflation<br />

pressures listed on placard.<br />

Keeping the tires properly inflated<br />

provides the best handling, tread life and<br />

riding comfort.<br />

In addition to the tire placard on the<br />

driver’s door B-pillar, also consult the fuel<br />

filler flap for any additional information<br />

pertaining to special driving situations. For<br />

more information, see “Important notes on<br />

tire inflation pressure” ( page 265).<br />
