Tires
To safely operate your vehicle, your
tires must be the proper type and
size, in good condition with adequate
tread, and correctly inflated.
Inflation Guidelines
The tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) warns you when a tire
pressure is low. See page 326 for
more information.
Keeping the tires properly inflated
provides the best combination of
handling, tread life, and riding
comfort.
The following pages give more
detailed information on how to take
care of your tires and what to do
when they need to be replaced.
Even though your vehicle is
equipped with TPMS, we
Underinflated tires wear unevenly,
adversely affect handling and fuel
economy, and are more likely to
fail from being overheated.
recommend that you visually check
your tires every day. If you think a
tire might be low, check it
immediately with a tire gauge.
Overinflated tires can make your
vehicle ride more harshly, are
more prone to damage from road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
Using tires that are excessively
worn or improperly inflated can
cause a crash in which you can
be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this
owner’s manual regarding tire
inflation and maintenance.
