Tires

To safely operate your vehicle, your

tires must be the proper type and

size, in good condition with adequate

tread, and correctly inflated.

Inflation Guidelines

The tire pressure monitoring system

(TPMS) warns you when a tire

pressure is low. See page 326 for

more information.

Keeping the tires properly inflated

provides the best combination of

handling, tread life, and riding

comfort.

The following pages give more

detailed information on how to take

care of your tires and what to do

when they need to be replaced.

Even though your vehicle is

equipped with TPMS, we

Underinflated tires wear unevenly,

adversely affect handling and fuel

economy, and are more likely to

fail from being overheated.

recommend that you visually check

your tires every day. If you think a

tire might be low, check it

immediately with a tire gauge.

Overinflated tires can make your

vehicle ride more harshly, are

more prone to damage from road

hazards, and wear unevenly.

Using tires that are excessively

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.
