Tires and wheels<br />

Warning! G<br />

Do not overload the tires by exceeding the<br />

specified load limit or vehicle capacity<br />

weight as indicated on the placard located<br />

on the driver’s door B-pillar. Overloading the<br />

tires can overheat them, possibly causing a<br />

blowout. Overloading the tires can also<br />

result in handling or steering problems, or<br />

brake failure.<br />

For illustration purposes only. Actual<br />

data on tires are specific to each vehicle<br />

and may vary from data shown in<br />

above illustration.<br />

This is the maximum permissible tire<br />

inflation pressure for the tire.<br />

Always follow the recommended tire<br />

inflation pressure ( page 264) for proper<br />

tire inflation.<br />

Warning! G<br />

Never exceed the max. tire inflation<br />

pressure. Follow recommended tire inflation<br />

pressures.<br />

Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires<br />

wear excessively and/or unevenly, adversely<br />

affect handling and fuel economy, and are<br />

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

Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires<br />

can adversely affect handling and ride comfort,<br />

wear unevenly, increase stopping distance,<br />

and result in sudden deflation<br />

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

become punctured or damaged by road debris,<br />

potholes etc.
