Recommended tire inflation pressure

G Warning!

Follow recommended tire inflationpressures.

Do not underinflate tires. Underinflatedtires wear excessively and/or unevenly,adversely affect handling and fuel

economy, and are more likely to fail frombeing overheated.

Do not overinflate tires. Overinflatedtires can adversely affect handling andride comfort, wear unevenly, increasestopping distance, and result in suddendeflation (blowout) because they are morelikely to become punctured or damaged byroad debris, potholes etc.

Do not overload the tires by exceeding thespecified load limit as indicated on theTire and Loading Information placard onthe driver’s door B‑pillar. Overloading thetires can overheat them, possibly causinga blowout. Overloading the tires can alsoresult in handling or steering problems, orbrake failure.

Your vehicle is equipped with the Tire andLoading Information placard located onthe driver’s door B‑pillar.

The tire inflation pressure should bechecked regularly and should only beadjusted on cold tires. The tires can beconsidered cold if the vehicle has beenparked for at least 3 hours or driven lessthan 1 mile (1.6 km).

Follow recommended cold tire inflationpressures listed on Tire and LoadingInformation placard on the driver’s doorB‑pillar.

Keeping the tires properly inflatedprovides the best handling, tread life andriding comfort.
