Maintenance Tires and wheels
Tires and wheels
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain the recommended
tire inflation pressures and stay
within the load limits and weight
distribution recommended for your
vehicle.
Recommended cold tire inflation
pressures
All tire pressures 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 1 mile (1.6 km).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, vehicle
handling, and minimum tire wear.
For recommended inflation pres
-
sure, refer to "Tires and wheels" on
page 7-33.
All specifications (sizes and pres
-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the driver's side center
pillar.
Tire underinflation
Inflate your tires consistent with
the instructions provided in this
manual. Regularly check the tire
inflation pressure, and correct it as
needed; at least twice a month and
before any long trips on the road. If
you fail to observe this precaution,
you may be driving on underinflated
tires, which may not only compro
-
mise your vehicle's driving stability,
but may also lead to tire damage
and the risk of an accident. This risk
is much higher on hot days and
when driving for long periods at high
speeds.
Failure to maintain specified pres
-
sure may result in excessive wear,
poor handling, reduced fuel econ
-
omy, deformation of tire and/or
wheel, harsh ride conditions, possi
-
bility for additional damage from
road hazards, or result in tire failure.
