These pressures were chosen to pro- vide the most satisfactory combination of ride comfort, tyre wear and stability under normal conditions. Tyre pressuresshould be checked at least monthly. CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tyres are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hoursand hasn't been driven more than 1.6 km or one mile since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tyre each time you check the pres-sure of other tyres.
o Worn, old tyres can cause acci-
dents. If your tread is badly worn, or if your tyres have been dam-aged, replace them.
! I040A02S-DAT SNOW TYRES If you equip your car with snow tyres, they should be the same size and havethe same load capacity as the original tyres. Snow tyres should be installed on all four wheels; otherwise, poor han-dling may result. Snow tyres should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressurerecommended for the standard tyres on the tyre label on the driver's side of the centre pillar outer panel, or up to themaximum pressure shown on the tyre sidewall, whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75mph) when your car is equipped with snow tyres.
OMC059101R
OMC059100RProper tyre inflation pressures should be maintained for these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tyre pres-
sures cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.
o Higher-than-recommended tyre pres-
sures increase the chance of dam-age from impacts and cause uneven tread wear.
