Section 4
There may be an increase in road
noise and a shorter tire tread life.
NOTICE
Low-profile tires are more
susceptible to damage from
road hazards or curb impact
than standard profile tires.
Tire and/or wheel assembly
damage can occur when
coming into contact with road
hazards like potholes or sharp
edged objects or when sliding
into a curb. The vehicle
warranty does not cover this
type of damage. Keep tires set
to the correct inflation pressure
and, when possible avoid
contact with curbs, potholes
and other road hazards.
Inflation
See the tire information label for
your vehicle's tire inflation
specifications.
To determine the location of your
vehicle’s tire information label, see
"Vehicle Loading" in Section 3.
The label gives the correct inflation
pressures for your tires when
they're cold. Cold means your
vehicle has been sitting for three
hours or more - or, if driven at all,
for no more than 1.6 km (1 mile).
The air pressure indicated on the
label as "cold" should be
maintained for the tires to
perform properly. However, do
not overload your vehicle. See
"Vehicle Loading" in Section 3.
Maintaining the cold tire pressure
indicated on the tire information
label leads to better fuel economy,
longer tire life, a more comfortable
ride and better overall driveability.
If you replace the original tires
on your vehicle with tires of a
different size, the pressure listed
on the tire information label
may not be correct. Be sure to
determine the correct tire pressure
for the size of the tires on your
vehicle.
Check your tires at least once a
month. Don't forget your spare
tire (if equipped).
See "Compact Spare Tire" in
Section 5 for more information.
