Tires
Your new vehicle comes with
high-quality tires made by a
leading tire manufacturer.
If you ever have questions about
your tire warranty and where to
obtain service, see your vehicle
Warranty booklet for details.
For additional information refer
to the tire manufacturer.
{
CAUTION
Poorly maintained and
improperly used tires are
dangerous.
•
Overloading your
vehicle’s tires can cause
overheating as a result
of too much flexing.
You could have an air-out
and a serious accident.
See Loading the Vehicle
on page 4-18.
•
Underinflated tires
pose the same danger
as overloaded tires.
The resulting accident
could cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently to
maintain the recommended
pressure.
(Continued)
CAUTION (Continued)
Tire pressure should be
checked when your
vehicle’s tires are cold.
See Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-45.
•
Overinflated tires are more
likely to be cut, punctured,
or broken by a sudden
impact — such as when
you hit a pothole. Keep
tires at the recommended
pressure.
•
Worn, old tires can cause
accidents. If the tire’s
tread is badly worn, or
if your vehicle’s tires
have been damaged,
replace them.
