pressure label lists the recommended cold tire inflation pressures
for the vehic le at its maximum capacity weight and tires t hat were
on your vehicle at the time it was manufactured .
If you w ish to improve comfort w hen operati ng the vehicle at
norm al load (up to 3 occupants), you can adjust t ire pressures t o
tho se specified for norm al vehicle load. Before operating the vehicle
at maximum load, you must increase t he t ire pressures to those
specified for maximum vehicle load ::::> & .
Bear in m ind that the tire pressure monito ring system can only
monitor the tire pressures you have stored . The system does not
recognize the load condition of your vehicle .
The effect iveness of the t ire pressure mon itoring system will be
impaired if you store normal load pressures but then operate the
veh icle at its maximum load ::::>& .
