Fuel Spray:Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can
burn skin and eyes and cause
illness when ingested. Fuel spray
happens when there is pressure in
the fuel tank and the fuel cap is
removed too quickly. When
removing the fuel cap, loosen the
cap slightly and wait for any
hissing to stop. Then remove it.
WARNING
!
Fuel Vapor:Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could
be ignited by sparks or flames;
causing serious burns and
injuries. Before refueling, stop
the engine. And always keep
sparks and flames away from the
filler neck.

WARNING
!
Snow Blocking the Exhaust Gas:Running the engine when a
vehicle is stopped in deep snow is
dangerous. The exhaust pipe
could be blocked by the snow,
allowing exhaust gas to enter the
cabin. Because exhaust gas
contains poisonous carbon
monoxide, anyone in the cabin
could be injured or killed. Clear
the snow from underneath and
around your vehicle before
starting the engine.

Tires
For reasons of proper performance,
safety, and better fuel economy,
always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within the
recommended load limits and weight
distribution.
WARNING
!
Using Different Tire Types:Driving your vehicle with
different types of tires is
dangerous. It could cause poor
handling and poor braking;
leading to loss of control. Except
when using the temporary spare
tire, use only the same type tires
(radial, bias-belted, bias-type) on
all four wheels.

Form No. 8P95-EA-00G
Maintenance8-42NOTE•Warm tires normally exceed
recommended pressures. Don’ t
release air from warm tires to
adjust the pressure.
• Underinflation can cause
reduced fuel economy and poor
sealing of the tire bead, which
will deform the wheel and
cause separation of tire from
rim.
• Overinflation can produce a
harsh ride and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.
(Continued)
•Keep your tire pressure at the
correct levels. If one frequently
needs inflating, have it
inspected.
WARNING
!
Incorrect Tire Inflation:Overinflation or underinflation of
tires is dangerous. Adverse
handling or unexpected tire
failure could result in a serious
accident. Always inflate the tires
to the correct pressure (page
10-6).
