Tire Pressure - Saturn VUE 2010 Owner's Manual

10-50 Vehicle Care

Tire Pressure

Tires need the correct amount
of air pressure to operate
effectively.
Do not let anyone tell
Notice:
you that under inflation or
over inflation is all right. It is
not. If your tires do not have
enough air (under inflation),
you can get the following:
Too much flexing
Too much heat
Tire overloading
Premature or
irregular wear
Poor handling
Reduced fuel economy
If your tires have too much air
(over inflation), you can get
the following:
Unusual wear
Poor handling
Rough ride
Needless damage from
road hazards
A vehicle specific Tire and
Loading Information label is
attached to your vehicle.
This label shows your vehicle's
original equipment tires and the
correct inflation pressures for
your tires when they are cold.
The recommended cold tire
inflation pressure, shown on the
label, is the minimum amount of
air pressure needed to support
your vehicle's maximum load
carrying capacity.
For additional information
regarding how much weight
your vehicle can carry, and an
example of the Tire and Loading
Information label, see Vehicle
Load Limits on page 9 22 .
How you load your vehicle
affects vehicle handling and ride
comfort. Never load your vehicle
with more weight than it was
designed to carry.
