Important notes on tire inflation
pressure

are also increased while driving, depending
on the driving speed and the tire load.

speeds of 100 mph (160 km/ h) or higher,
where it is legal and conditions allow,
consult the placard on the inside of the fuel
filler flap on how to adjust the cold tire
inflation pressure. If you do not adjust the
tire inflation pressure, excessive heat can
build up and result in sudden tire failure.
