TIRES
TIRE PRESSURE
Keep the tires inflated to the recommended
inflation pressure to prolong tire life and for safety.

pressure. Incorrect tire pressure increases tire
wear and could lead to loss of driving control
because of reduced road handling. Check tire
pressure regularly.

Always check the spare tire pressure
when checking tire pressures.
