Tire pressures
Driving at high speeds with exces-
sively low tire pressures can cause
the tires to deform severely and to
rapidly become hot. A sharp in-
crease in temperature could cause
tread separation, and destruction of
the tires. The resulting loss of vehi-
cle control could lead to an acci-
dent.
Check and, if necessary, adjust the pres-
sure of each tire (including the spare) at
least once a month and before any long
journey.
Check the tire pressure when the tires are
cold.
Use a pressure gauge to adjust the tire
pressures to the values shown on the tire
placard.
Refer to the "Tires and wheels" section in
chapter 11 for detailed information.

warning
Engine exhaust, some of its constit-
uents, and certain vehicle compo-
nents contain or emit chemicals
known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. In addi-
tion, certain fluids in vehicles and

contain or emit chemicals known to

On-pavement and off-road
driving
This vehicle is classified as a utility vehi-
cle. Utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of ve-
hicles. Your B9 TRIBECA has a higher
ground clearance and higher center of
gravity, making it more likely to roll over
than ordinary passenger cars. It also han-
dles and maneuvers differently from other
passenger cars. For this reason, please
read carefully the "On-pavement and off
road driving" section in chapter 8 of this
owner's manual and follow the instruc-
tions and precautions in order to prevent
serious injury or death due to loss of con-
trol, rollover and other accidents.
