Tires
To safely operate your car, your
tires must be the proper type and
size, in good condition with ade-
quate tread, and correctly inflated.
The following pages give more
detailed information on how and
when to check air pressure, how to
inspect your tires for damage, and
what to do when your tires need to
be replaced.
Using tires that are ex-
cessively worn or improperly
inflated can cause a crash in
which you can be seriously
hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this
owner's manual regarding tire
inflation and maintenance.
