WARNING

Tire Under-Inflation:

Driving your vehicl e with under-inflated tires is dangerous.

Under-inflation is the most common cause of failures in any kind of tire and may

result in severe cracking, tread separation or “blowout”, with unexpected loss of

vehicle control and increased risk of injury. Under-inflation increases sidewall flexing

and rolling resistance, resulting in heat buildup and internal damage to the tire. It

results in unnecessary tire stress, irregular wear, loss of control and accidents. A tire

can lose up to half of its air pressure and not appear to be flat!

It is impossible to determine whether or not tires are properly inflated just by looki ng

at them.

Always check the tire inflation pressures on a regular basis according to the

recommended tire inflation pressure on the tire label and in conjunction with the

information in this owner's manual.

qChecking Tire Pressure

1. When you check the air pressure, make sure the tires are cold ―meaning they are not

hot from driving even a mile.

2. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire.

3. Firmly press a tire gauge onto the valve.

4. Add air to achieve recommended air pressure.

5. If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the center of the

valve. Then recheck the pressure with your tire gauge.

6. Replace the valve cap.

7. Repeat with each tire, including the spare.

NOTE

Some spare tires require higher inflation pressure.

8. Visually inspect the tir es to make sure there are no nails or other objects embedded that

could poke a hole in the tire and cause an air leak.

9. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts, bulges, cracks or other

irregularities.
