CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires
are cold. That is, after the car
has been parked for at least three
hours and hasn't been driven
more than 1.6 km or one mile
since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare
tire each time you check the
pressure of other tires.
o Never overload your car. Be es-
pecially careful about overload-
ing if you equip your car with a
luggage rack or car top carrier.

SNOW TIRES
If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and
have the same load capacity as the
original tires. Snow tires should be
installed on all four wheels; other-
wise, poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4
psi) more air pressure than the pres-
sure recommended for the standard
tires on the tire label on the driver's
door edge, or up to the maximum
pressure shown on the tire sidewall
whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) when your car is equipped with
snow tires.

These pressures were chosen to pro-
vide the most satisfactory combina-
tion of ride comfort, tire wear and
stability under normal conditions.
Tire pressures should be checked at
least monthly. Proper tire inflation
pressures should be maintained for
these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tire
pressures cause uneven tread wear
and poor handling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire
pressures increase the chance of
damage from impacts and cause
uneven tread wear.
