Maintenance
 WARNING
Tire failure may cause loss of 
vehicle control resulting in an 
accident. To reduce risk of SERIOUS 
INJURY or DEATH, take the 
following precautions:
ś Inspect your tires monthly for 
proper inflation as well as wear 
and damage.
ś 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.
ś Check the pressure of the 
spare every time you check the 
pressure of the other tires on 
your vehicle.
ś Replace tires that are worn, show 
uneven wear, or are damaged. 
Worn tires can cause loss of 
braking effectiveness, steering 
control, or traction.
ś 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 could 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 electric energy 
economy, you must always maintain 
recommended tire inflation 
pressures and stay within the load 
limits and weight distribution 
recommended for your vehicle.

All specifications (sizes and 
pressures) can be found on a label 
attached to the driver’s side center 
pillar.
Recommended Cold Tire 
Inflation Pressures
All tire pressures (including the 
spare) should be checked when the 
tires are cold. “Cold tires” means the 
vehicle has not been driven for at 
least three hours or driven less than 
one mile (1.6 km).
Warm tires normally exceed 
recommended cold tire pressures 
by 4 to 6 psi (28 to 41 kPa). Do not 
release air from warm tires to adjust 
the pressure or the tires will be 
under-inflated. For recommended 
inflation pressure, refer to “Tire and 
Wheels” section in chapter 2.
