and follow the important
safety precautions in
c::> page 247, Tires and vehicle
load limits.
-The tire must flex more if the
tire pressure is too low or if
the vehicle speed or load are
too high. This heats the tire up
too much. This increases the
risk of an accident because it
can cause the tire to burst and
result in loss of vehicle con
trol.
-Incorrect tire pressure increas
es tire wear and has a negative
effect on driving and braking
