Tire economy and tips
Check pressure at least monthly
when tires are cold.
Tires should be of the same
make, kind and dimension.
Maintain correct front-end
alignment and tire balance;
rotate tires at 5,000 or 7,500 mile
intervals; see Owner's Manual
for rotation chart.
Tire pressure
Decal on driver's door provides
tire pressure information.

Tire chains*
Use only SAE Class "S" chains;
install on front tires as tightly
as possible and re-tighten
periodically; do not use chains
on dry roads, aluminum wheels,
or with tire pressure monitor
system**, damage may occur,

increase pressure on pedal for
maximum braking.
