WARNING
Improperly inflated tires can fail sud-
denly and cause an accident.
The vehicle weight capacity is indi-
cated on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label. Do not load your ve-
hicle beyond this capacity.
Overloading your vehicle may result
in reduced tire life, unsafe operating
conditions due to premature tire fail-
ure, or unfavorable handling charac-
teristics and could also lead to a
serious accident. Loading beyond the
specified capacity may also result in
failure of other vehicle components.
Before taking a long trip, or when-
ever you heavily load your vehicle,
use a tire pressure gauge to ensure
that the tire pressures are at the
specified level.
Do not drive your vehicle over 85
MPH (137 km/h) unless it is equipped
with high speed rated tires. Driving
faster than 85 MPH (137 km/h) mayresult in tire failure, loss of control
and possible injury.
For additional information regarding
tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety
Information” (US) or “Tire Safety In-
formation” (Canada) in the Warranty
Information Booklet.
Low tire pressure warning system (if
so equipped)The low tire pressure warning system displays
the tire pressure of all tires (except the spare tire)
on the display screen by sending a signal from a
sensor that is installed in each wheel. For more
details, refer to “Low tire pressure warning light”
in the “2. Instruments and controls” section,
“Low tire pressure warning system” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section, and “Flat tire” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section. If the tire
pressure displayed on the display screen is
lower than the COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label, check the
pressure of all four tires and adjust them to the
COLD tire pressure as indicated above. The low
tire pressure warning system will activate only
when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 20
MPH (32 km/h).
