Tires And Wheels
Tire failure may cause loss of vehicle
control and result in a collision. To
reduce risk of serious injury or death:
• Inspect your tires monthly for
proper inflation as well as wear and
damage.
• The recommended cold tire
pressure for your vehicle can be
found in this manual and on the tire
label located on the driver’s side
center pillar. Always use a tire
pressure gauge to measure tire
pressure. Tires with too much or
too little pressure wear unevenly
causing poor handling.
• Check the pressure of the spare
every time you check the pressure
of the other tires on your vehicle.
• Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of braking
effectiveness, steering control, or
traction.
• Always replace tires with the same
size, type, construction, and tread
pattern as each tire that was
originally supplied with this vehicle.
Using tires and wheels other than
the recommended sizes may cause
unusual handling characteristics,
poor vehicle control, or negatively
affect your vehicle’s Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) resulting in a
serious accident.
Tire care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, always
maintain recommended tire inflation
pressures and stay within the load
limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
2C_TireLabel
All specifications (sizes and
pressures) can be found on a label
attached to the driver’s side center
pillar.
Recommended cold tire
inflation pressures
Check all tire pressures (including the
spare) when the tires are cold. “Cold
tires” mean the vehicle has not been
driven for at least three hours or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Warm tires normally exceed the
recommended cold tire pressures by
4 to 6 psi (28 to 41 kPa). Do not
release air from warm tires to adjust
the pressure. The tires are
under-inflated. For recommended
inflation pressure, refer to the “Tires
And Wheels” section in chapter 2.
