CONSUMER INFORMATION 8- 3
CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least threehours 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 thepressure 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. I040A01S-GAT 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 beinstalled 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'sdoor edge, or up to the maximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall whichever is less.Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75mph) when your car is equipped withsnow 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 ofdamage from impacts and causeuneven tread wear.
