Vehicle Care
Summer Tires
This vehicle may come with high
performance summer tires. These
tires have a special tread and
compound that are optimized for
maximum dry and wet road
performance. This special tread and
compound will have decreased
performance in cold climates, and
on ice and snow. It is recommended
that winter tires be installed on the
vehicle if frequent driving at
temperatures below approximately
5 °C (40 °F) or on ice or snow
covered roads is expected. See
.
Caution
High performance summer tires
have rubber compounds that lose
flexibility and may develop
surface cracks in the tread area
at temperatures below
−
7 °C (20 °
F). Always store high
performance summer tires
indoors and at temperatures

above
−
7 °C (20 °F) when not in
use. If the tires have been
subjected to
−
7 °C (20 °F) or less,
let them warm up in a heated
space to at least 5 °C (40 °F) for
24 hours or more before being
installed or driving a vehicle on
which they are installed. Do not
apply heat or blow heated air
directly on the tires. Always
inspect tires before use. See
All-Terrain Tires
This vehicle may have All-Terrain
Tires. These tires provide good
performance on most road surfaces,
weather conditions, and for off-road
driving.
The tread pattern on these tires may
wear more quickly than other tires.
Consider rotating the tires more
frequently than at 8 000 km
(5,000 mi) intervals if irregular wear
is noted when the tires are
inspected. See
.
Tire Sidewall Labeling
Useful information about a tire is
molded into the sidewall. The
