SERVICING YOUR TIRES

• Check the pressure when the tires are cold, after the vehicle has been
parked for at least one hour or has been driven less than 5 km (3
miles).
• Adjust tire pressure to recommended specifications found on the
Certifications Label.
Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control.

• Four tire rotation
To make sure your tires wear
evenly, rotate them as indicated in
the Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
If your tires wear unevenly, have
them checked.
