CAUTION: (Continued)
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).
NOTICE:
--
Don't let anyone tell you that underinflation or
overinflation is all right. It's not. If your tires
don't have enough air (underinflation), you can
get the following:
D
Too much flexing
D
Too much heat
D
Tire overloading
D
Bad wear
D
Bad handling
D
Bad fuel economy.
