MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure,
affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions.
• Under-inflation increases tire flexing and can result in over-heating and tire
failure.
• Over-inflation reduces a tire's ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road
and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
• Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control
of your vehicle.
• Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause
the vehicle to drift to the right or left.
• Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
• Always drive with each tire inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation
pressure.
