NOTICE

Driving on rough roads

n
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or pot holes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the cushion-
ing ability of the tires. In addition driving on rough roads may cause damage to the
tires themselves, as well as the vehicle' s wheels and body.

Low profile tires and wheels

n
Wheels with profile tires like 17- and 18-inch tires may cause greater damage than
usual to the tire wheel when receiving impact from the road surface. Therefore pay
attention to the following:
Be sure to use proper tire inflation pressure. If tires are under-inflated, they may
l
be damaged more severely.
Avoid pot holes, uneven pavement, curbs and other road hazards.
l
Failure to do so can lead to severe tire and wheel damage.
If tire inflation pressures become low while driving
n
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.
