CAUTION
• Do not drive on worn or damaged
tires.
Such tires can cause you to lose con-
trol of the vehicle and a collision, re-
sulting in injuries or damage to your
vehicle or other property.
BUILT-IN TREAD WEAR INDICATOR
Regularly check the tread depth of your
tires using the tire’s built-in tread wear
indicators. Markings on the sidewalls
indicate the locations of the tread wear
indicators.
Periodic tire inspection
• Visual damage.
• Foreign objects
• Punctures.
• Cuts.
• Cracks.
• Bulges in the sidewalls.
Check the wheels for damage.
Tire defects including those above can
cause loss of control of your vehicle, re-
sulting in a possible collision.
If your tires or wheels are damaged or
show abnormal wear, consult your au-
thorized repairer.

CAUTION
Use of tires of a size other than origi-
nally fitted to your vehicle may cause
interference between tires and vehicle
components, and may result in tire
and vehicle damage.
Replace tires when the tread wear in-
dicators become visible. The wear in-
dicators appear between the tread
grooves when the tread depth is 1.6 mm
(0.06 in) or less.
NOTE
Always dispose of worn tires accord-
ing to local environmental regula-
tion.
Tread wear indicator
Your vehicle was delivered with radial
tires. We recommend using radials of
the same size, design, tread wear, tem-
perature and speed rating at time of re-
placement. Caring for your tires and wheels
Driving over sharp objects can damage
the tires and wheels. If some objects are
unavoidable, drive over them slowly
and at a right angle, if possible.
When parking, avoid making contact
with the curb.
