Safe
driving
- The tire
pressure
must
correspond
to
the
load. The tire
pressure
is
shown on
the
tire
pressure
label. The
tire
pressure
label
is
lo-
cated
on
the
driver's side B-pillar. The tire
pressure
label lists
the
recommended
cold
tire inflation
pressures
for
the
vehicle
at
its
maximum capacity
weight
and
the
tires
that
were on your vehicle
at
the
time
it
was
man-
ufactured. For
recommended
tire
pressures
for
normal
load conditions,
please
see
chap-
ter

The
luggage compartment is equipped with four
tie-downs to secure luggage
and
other items.

In a collision,
the
laws
of
physics
mean
that
even
smaller
items
that
are
loose
in
the
vehicle will
become
heavy missiles
that
can
cause
serious in-
jury.
Items
in
the
vehicle
possess
energy which
vary with vehicle
speed
and
th
e
weight
of
the
item.
Vehicle
speed
is
the
most
sig
ni
ficant factor.
Fo
r example,
in
a
frontal
col
li
sion
at
a
speed
of
30
mph
(48 km/h),
the
forces acting on a
10
lbs
(4.5 kg) object
are
about
20
times
the
normal
weight
of
the
item. This
means
that
the
weight
of
the
item
would suddenly
be
about
200
lbs (90 kg).
You
can imagine
the
injuries
that
a
200
lbs (90
kg)
i
tem
flying freely
through
the
passenger
compartment
could cause
in
a colli-
sion like this.
