advised when the 4

adjustment
would require pressures greater than the
maximum for each load range stated
on
the chart. Sustained driving at speeds
over

mph (140 km/h), where per-
mittedby
law, is
not
advised unless
your
car
is
equipped with special

For proper inflation pressures when
towing trailers,
see
"Trailer Towing" in
Section 1
of
this manual.
5.
Always
use
a tire pressure
gage
(a
pocket type
gage
is
advised) when
checking inflation pressures. Visual
inspection
of
tires for inflation
pressures
is
not enough, especially in
the
case
of radial tires. Underinflated
radial tires may look similar
to
correctly
inflated radial tires.
If
inflation pressure
on a tire is quite often found to be low,
have
your dealer correct the cause.
6.
Be
sure to reinstall the tire inflation
valve
caps,
if
so equipped,
to
prevent
dirt and moisture from getting into the
valve
core, which could cause air
leakage.

If
an air loss occurs while driving, do
not drive on the deflated tire more than
is
needed to stop safely. Driving even a
short distance on a deflated tire can
damage a tire and wheel beyond repair .
INSPECTION
AND
ROTATION-Your
tires perform different jobs (front tires
.are
involved with steering and rear tIres
normally with pushing the car) and can
wear. differently depending on the types
of
roads driven, your driving habits, etc. To
obtain maximum tire life, you should
inspect and rotate your tires regularly.
Many car and tire dealers will perform a
free tire inspection
to
look for uneven or
abnormal tire wear (usually the result
of
wrong inflation pressures, lack of regular
rotation, improper wheel alignment, tires
out-of-balance, or poor driving habits).
