Tyre care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tyre
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
Recommended cold tyre infla-
tion pressures
All tyre pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tyres are cold. “Cold Tyres” means
the vehicle has not been driven for at
least three hours or driven less than
1.6 km.
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top vehi-
cle handling, and minimum tyre
wear.
For the recommended inflation
pressure refer to “Tyre and
wheels” in chapter 8.
All specifications (sizes and pres-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the vehicle.
Tyre underinflation
Severe underinflation (70 kPa
(10 psi) or more) can lead to
severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separation and
other tyre failures that can
result in the loss of vehicle con-
trol leading to severe injury or
death. This risk is much higher
on hot days and when driving
for long periods at high speeds.
