WARNING
Tire underinflation
Inflate your tires consistent with
the instructions provided in this
manual. Regularly check the tire
inflation pressure, and correct it as
needed: at least twice a month and
before any long trips on the road. If
you fail to observe this precaution,
you may be driving on underinflated
tires, which may not only compro
mise your vehicle's driving stability,
but also lead to tire damage and the
risk of an accident. This risk is much
higher on hot days and when driving
for long periods at high speeds.
Failure to maintain specified pres
sure may result in excessive wear,
poor handling, reduced fuel econ
omy, deformation of tire and/or
wheel, harsh ride conditions, possi
bility for additional damage from
road hazards, or result in tire failure.
Tire pressure
Always observe the following:
Check tire pressure when the tires
are cold. (After vehicle has been
parked for at least three hours or
hasn't been driven more than 1.6
km since startup.)
Check the pressure of your spare
tire each time you check the pres
sure of other tires.
Never overload your vehicle. Be
careful not to overload a vehicle
luggage rack if your vehicle is
equipped with one.
Warm tires normally exceed rec
ommended cold tire pressures by
28~41 kPa. Do not release air
from warm tires to adjust the
pressure or the tires will be
underinflated.
WARNING
Tire Inflation
Overinflation or underinflation can
reduce tire life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to sudden
tire failure. This could result in loss
of vehicle control and potential
injury.
