Recommended tire inflation pressure
Warning!
Follow recommended tire inflation
pressures.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires
wear excessively and/or unevenly,
adversely affect handling and fuel economy,
and are more likely to fail from being over-
heated.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires
can adversely affect handling and ride
comfort, wear unevenly, increase stopping
distance, and result in sudden deflation
(blowout) because they are more likely to
become punctured or damaged by road
debris, potholes etc.
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified load limit as indicated on the Tire
G
and Loading Information placard on the driv-
er's door B-pillar. Overloading the tires can
overheat them, possibly causing a blowout.
Overloading the tires can also result in han-
dling or steering problems, or brake failure.
Your vehicle is equipped with the Tire and
Loading Information placard located on
the driver's door B-pillar ( page 296).
The tire inflation pressure should be
checked regularly and should only be ad-
justed on cold tires. The tires can be con-
sidered cold if the vehicle has been parked
for at least 3 hours or driven less than
1 mile (1.6 km).
Follow recommended cold tire inflation
pressures listed on Tire and Loading Infor-
mation placard on the driver's door B-pil-
lar.
Keeping the tires properly inflated
provides the best handling, tread life and
riding comfort.

In addition to the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion placard on the driver's door B-pillar,

mation, see "Important notes on tire infla-
tion pressure" ( page 302).
