Tire Pressures - RAM 3500 2012 User Manual

MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

TIRE PRESSURES

• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least
monthly and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the "Tire and
Loading Information" label located on the driver's side door opening.
NOTE: Refer to the Owner's Manual on
the DVD for more information regarding
tire warnings and instructions.
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure,
affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of
the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions.
Under-inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe
cracking, component separation, or "blow out". Over-inflation reduces a
tire's ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes can
cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire pressures can
cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can
fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
