TIRES AND WHEELS

: Load Index

: Speed Symbol

When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.

Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or make them work irregularly.

• It is permissible to add 21 kPa (3 psi) to the standard tire pressure specification if colder temperatures are expect-

Tires typically loose 7 kPa (1 psi) for every -11°C (12°F) temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations are

expected, re-check your tire pressure as necessary to keep them properly inflated.

• We recommend that when replacing tires, use the same originally supplied with the vehicles. If not, that affects

driving performance.

• When driving in high altitude grades, it is natural for the atmospheric pressure to decrease. Therefore, please

check the tire pressure and add more air when necessary.

Additionally required tire air pressure per km above sea level: 10.5 kPa (1.5 psi) km
