TIRE CARE

To make sure the front and rear tires of
your vehicle wear evenly and last longer,
we recommend that you swap the tires
from front to rear and vice versa at regular
intervals of between 3000 and 6000 miles
(5000 and 10000 kilometers).
WARNING
Do not scrub the sidewalls of the
tires when you are parking.
If you have to mount a curb, do so slowly
and approach it with the wheels at
right-angles to the curb.
Examine the tires regularly for cuts, foreign
objects and uneven wear of the tread.
Uneven wear could mean that the wheel
alignment is outside specification.
Check the tire pressures (including the
spare) when cold, every two weeks.

USING WINTER TIRES

If winter tires are used you must inflate
them to the same tire pressures as those
listed in the tire pressure table. See Tire
Pressures (page 156).

USING SNOW CHAINS

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
periodically check tire pressures using a
pressure gauge. Failure to correctly
maintain tire pressures could increase the
risk of tire failure, loss of control, vehicle
rollover and personal injury.
You must check the tire pressures
(including the spare tire where applicable)
every two weeks when the tires are cold.
You must inflate the tires to the correct
pressure.
See Tire Pressures (page 156).
The tire pressures are also on the tire
inflation pressure label (located on the
edge of driver door or the B-Pillar).
