WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, includ-
ing tire pressure checks. See “Changing
Wheels and Tires” in “Maintenance & Do-
It-Yourself” section. Many factors includ-
ing tire inflation, alignment, driving habits
and road conditions affect tire wear and
when tires should be replaced. Setting the

driving distance does not mean your tires
will last that long. Use the tire replace-
ment indicator as a guide only and always

form regular tire checks, including tire
pressure checks could result in tire fail-
ure. Serious vehicle damage could occur

result in serious personal injury or death.
