WARNING
The load-carrying capacity of your
tyres is reduced at lower inflation
pressures. If your tyres are even
moderately under-inflated, the load
on the tyres may exceed the load-car-
rying capacity of the tyres, which
could lead to tyre failure. The low tyre
pressure warning light will not alert
you to this condition, because it only
comes on when one or more of your
tyres becomes significantly under-
inflated.
Check and adjust your tyre pressure
at least once a month. Refer to
"Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAIN-
TENANCE" section.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the low tyre
pressure warning light on can lead to
an accident, resulting in severe injury
or death.
If the low tyre pressure warning light
comes on and stays on, reduce your
speed and avoid abrupt steering and
braking. Be aware that driving on a
significantly under-inflated tyre can
cause the tyre to overheat and can
lead to tyre failure, and may affect
steering control and brake effective-
ness. Stop the vehicle in a safe place
as soon as possible and check your
tyres.
• If you have a flat tyre, replace it
with the spare tyre (if equipped).
Refer to "Jacking instructions" in
"EMERGENCY SERVICE" section
for the tyre replacement method.
Also refer to "Replacing tyres and/
or wheels" for instructions on how
to restore normal operation of the
TPMS after you have had a flat tyre.
• If one or more of your tyres is
under-inflated, adjust the inflation
pressure of all tyres to the recom-
mended inflation pressure as soon
as possible.
BEFORE DRIVING
Refer to "Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)" in "OPERATING YOUR VEHI-
CLE" section for additional details on the
tyre pressure monitoring system. Refer to
"Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTE-
NANCE" section for information on main-
taining proper tyre pressure.
