TIRES AND WHEELS
WARNING
Tire failure may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident. To
reduce risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following precautions:
• Inspect your tires monthly for proper
inflation as well as wear and damage.
• The recommended cold tire pressure
for your vehicle can be found in this
manual and on the tire label located
on the driver's side center pillar.
Always use a tire pressure gauge to
measure tire pressure. Tires with
too much or too little pressure wear
unevenly causing poor handling.
• Check the pressure of the spare
every time you check the pressure of
the other tires on your vehicle.
• Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of braking
effectiveness, steering control, or
traction.
• ALWAYS replace tires with the
same size, type, construction and
tread pattern as each tire that was
originally supplied with this vehicle.
Using tires and wheels other than
the recommended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteristics,
poor vehicle control, or negatively
affect your vehicle's Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) resulting in a serious
accident.

Tire care

For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum electric energy economy, you
must always maintain recommended
tire inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
All specifications (sizes and pressures)
can be found on a label attached to the
driver's side center pillar.
Recommended cold tire inflation
pressures
All tire pressures (including the spare)
should be checked when the tires are
cold. "Cold tires" means the vehicle has
not been driven for at least three hours
or driven less than 1.6 km (one mile).
Warm tires normally exceed
recommended cold tire pressures by 28
to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do not release air
from warm tires to adjust the pressure
or the tires will be under-inflated. For
recommended inflation pressure, refer to
"Tire and Wheels" section in chapter 2.
