These pressures were chosen to provide the
most satisfactory combination of ride comfort,
tire wear and stability under normal conditions.
Tire pressures should be checked at least
monthly. Proper tire inflation pressures should
be maintained for these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures
increase the chance of damage from im-
pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
!
CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
I030A01O
o Check pressures when the tires are cold.
That is, after the car has been parked for
at least three hours and hasn't been
driven more than one mile or 1.6 km since
starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire
each time you check the pressure of
REAR
other tires.
221(32)
o Never overload your car. Be especially
careful about overloading if you equip
your car with a luggage rack or car top
carrier.

SNOW TIRES

If you equip your car with snow tires, they should
be the same size and have the same load
capacity as the original tires. Snow tires should
be installed on all four wheels; otherwise, poor
handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa) more air
pressure than the pressure recommended for
the standard tires on the tire label on the driver's
side of the center pillar , or up to the maximum
pressure shown on the tire sidewall whichever
is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)
when your car is equipped with snow tires.
