10-40 Vehicle Care
WARNING (Continued)
Underinflated tires pose the
same danger as overloaded
tires. The resulting crash
could cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently to
maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure
should be checked when the
tires are cold.
Overinflated tires are more
likely to be cut, punctured,
or broken by a sudden impact
such as when hitting a
pothole. Keep tires at the
recommended pressure.
Worn or old tires can cause a
crash. If the tread is badly
worn, replace them.
Replace any tires that have
been damaged by impacts
with potholes, curbs, etc.
WARNING (Continued)
Improperly repaired tires can
cause a crash. Only the
dealer or an authorized tire
service center should repair,
replace, dismount, and mount
the tires.
Do not spin the tires in
excess of 56 km/h (35 mph)
on slippery surfaces such as
snow, mud, ice, etc.
Excessive spinning may
cause the tires to explode.
See Tire Pressure for
High-Speed Operation on
page 10 48 for inflation pressure
adjustment for high speed
driving.
22 Inch Tires
If the vehicle has 22 inch P285/
(Continued)
45R22 size tires, they are
classified as touring tires and
are designed for on road use.
The low profile, wide tread
design is not recommended for
off road driving. See Off-Road
Driving on page 9 5, for
additional information.
Notice: Low profile tires are
more susceptible to damage
from road hazards or curb
impact than standard profile
tires. Tire and/or wheel
assembly damage can occur
when coming into contact
with road hazards like,
potholes, or sharp edged
objects, or when sliding into a
curb. The warranty does not
cover this type of damage.
Keep tires set to the correct
inflation pressure and, when
possible, avoid contact with
curbs, potholes, and other
road hazards.
