CAUTION
A
Things you put inside your
vehicle can strike and injure
people
in
a sudden stop or turn, or
in
a crash.
Put things in the trunk of your
vehicle. In a trunk, put them as
far forward as you can. Try to
spread the weight evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like
suitcases, inside the vehicle so
that some of them are above the
tops of the seats.
When you carry something
inside the vehicle, secure it
whenever you can.
Don't have a seat folded down
unless you need to.

Tires
We don't make tires. Your new vehicle
comes with high quality tires made by a
leading tire manufacturer. These tires
are warranted by the tire manufacturers
and their warranties are delivered with
every new Geo. If your spare tire is a
different brand than your road tires, you
will have a tire warranty folder from
each of these manufacturers.
A
Poorly maintained and
improperly used tires are
dangerous.
Overloading your tires can cause
overheating as a result of too
much friction. You could have
an air-out and a serious
accident. See "Loading Your
Vehicle''
in the
Index.
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 the tires are cold.
Overinflated tires are more
likely to be cut, punctured, or
broken by sudden impact, such
as when you hit a pothole. Keep
tires at the recommended
pressure.
Worn,
old tires can cause
accidents. If your tread is badly
worn, or if your tires have been
damaged, replace them.
