MAINTENANCE
n Wear Indicators
The groove where the wear indicator is
located is 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower
than elsewhere on the tire. If the tread
has worn so low that the indicator is
exposed, replace the tire. Worn out
tires have poor traction on wet roads.
Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a
crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in the owner's manual regarding tire inflation and
maintenance.

loading information.

n Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating,
and maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire sidewall).
Using tires of a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle
systems such as the ABS and Vehicle Stability Assist
work incorrectly. It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that
isn't possible, replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel's specifications match
those of the original wheels. Only use TPMS specified wheels approved for
your vehicle.
Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability.
This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires recommended in the Owner's
Manual.
Tire Service Life
n
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving
habits, road conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance
history, speed, and environmental conditions (even when the tires are not
in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires
reach five years old. All tires, including the spare
from service after 10 years from the date of manufacture, regardless of
their condition or state of wear.
n Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked "M+S",
snow tires, or tire chains; reduce speed and maintain sufficient distance
between vehicles when driving. For winter tires, select the size and load
ranges that are the same as the original tires, and mount them to all four
wheels.
