CAUTION: (Continued)
D
Underinflated tires pose the same danger as
overloaded tires. The resulting accident
could cause serious injury. Check all tires
frequently to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be checked
when your tires are cold.
D
Overinflated tires are more likely to be
cut, punctured or broken by a sudden
--
impact
such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires at the recommended pressure.
D
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your
tread is badly worn, or if your tires have
been damaged, replace them.
--
See "Inflation
Tire Pressure" in this section for
inflation pressure adjustment for higher
speed driving.

Inflation -- Tire Pressure
-
The Tire
Loading Information label, which is located on
the rear edge of the driver's door, shows the correct
inflation pressures for your tires when they're cold.
"Cold" means your vehicle has been sitting for at least
three hours or driven no more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
If you'll be driving at speeds higher than 100 mph
(160 km/h) where it is legal, raise the cold inflation
pressure of each tire to 37 psi (250 kPa). When you end
-
this very high
speed driving, reduce the cold inflation
pressures to those listed on the Tire
Information label.
NOTICE:
Don't let anyone tell you that underinflation or
overinflation is all right. It's not. If your tires
don't have enough air (underinflation), you can
get the following:
D
Too much flexing
D
Too much heat
