Low-Profile Tyres
The vehicle has low profile tyres
that are classified as touring tyres
and are designed for on road use.
The low-profile, wide tread design
is not recommended for off-road
driving. See
,
for additional information.
Caution
Low-profile tyres are more
susceptible to damage from road
hazards or curb impact than
standard profile tyres. Tyre and/or
wheel assembly damage can occur
when coming into contact with
road hazards like potholes, or sharp
edged objects, or when sliding into
a kerb. The warranty does not cover
this type of damage. Keep tyres set
to the correct inflation pressure and
when possible, avoid contact with
kerbs, potholes, and other road
hazards.
Tyre Pressure
Tyres need the correct amount of
air pressure to operate effectively.
Caution
Neither tyre underinflation nor
overinflation is good.
Underinflated tyres, or tyres
that do not have enough air,
can result in:
.
Tyre overloading and
overheating which could
lead to a blowout.
.
Premature or
irregular wear.
.
Poor handling.
.
Reduced fuel economy.
Overinflated tyres, or tyres that
have too much air, can result in:
.
Unusual wear.
.
Poor handling.
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
.
Rough ride.
.
Needless damage from
road hazards.
The Tyre and Loading Information
label on the vehicle indicates the
original equipment tyres and the
correct cold tyre inflation
pressures. The recommended
pressure is the minimum air
pressure needed to support the
vehicle's maximum load carrying
capacity.
For additional information
regarding how much weight the
vehicle can carry, and an example
of the Tyre and Loading
Information label, see
. How the vehicle is
loaded affects vehicle handling
and ride comfort. Never load the
vehicle with more weight than it
was designed to carry.
