Tires and Wheels
• It is permissible to add 3 psi (20 kPa) to the standard tire pressure specification if colder
temperatures are expected soon. Tires typically lose 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12 °F (7 °C)
temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations are expected, recheck your tire
pressure as necessary to keep them properly inflated.
• Tire inflation pressures may vary depending on changes in elevation. If driving in areas
of higher or lower elevation, be sure to check and adjust for proper tire inflation.
• Do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure, as found on the sidewall of the tire(s).
CAUTION
When replacing tires, ALWAYS use the same size, type, brand, construction and tread
pattern supplied with the vehicle. If not, it can damage the related parts or make it work
irregularly.
