CAUTION:
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires
are dangerous.
D
Overloading your tires can cause
overheating as a result of too much friction.
You could have an air
accident. See "Loading Your Vehicle" in
the Index.
D
Underinflated tires pose the same danger
as overloaded tires. The resulting accident
could cause serious injury. Check all tires
frequently to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be checked
when your tires are cold.
D
Overinflated tires are more likely to be
cut, punctured or broken by a sudden
--
impact such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires at the recommended pressure.
D
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your
tread is badly worn, or if your tires have
been damaged, replace them.

Inflation -- Tire Pressure
The Certification/Tire label, which is on the rear edge of
the driver's door, shows the correct inflation pressures
for your tires when they're cold. "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours or driven
no more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
You can operate some vehicles at reduced inflation
pressures only when you'll be carrying reduced loads.
On those vehicles, the minimum cold inflation pressures
for a typical reduced load are printed on the Improved
Ride Tire Pressure label located on the driver's door.
Weigh the vehicle to find the load on each tire and see
the label for the minimum cold inflation pressures for
that load.
