Make sure you inflate this vehicle’s tires and monitor the treads for wear. Check tire
pressure using a tire gauge and tread wear at every fuel fill-up. You can find the
recommended tire pressure on the label inside the driver’s side door or door pillar. Your
vehicle may include a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) which is NOT a substitute
for manually checking tire pressure. Visit www.checkmytires.org for additional information.
Tires degrade over time depending on many factors such as weather, storage conditions,
and conditions of use (load, speed, inflation pressure, etc.) experienced throughout the life
of the tires. In general, tires should be replaced after six years regardless of tread wear.
Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high -loading conditions, however, can accelerate
the aging process and may require you to replace the tires more frequently. You should
replace your spare tire when you replace the road tires or after six years due to aging
even if you never used it.
Do not use replacement tires with lower load-carrying capacities than th\
e original tires.
A van or wagon equipped with “E” load-rated tires must use “E”\
load-rated tires as
replacements, for example. Exceeding any vehicle weight or load-rating l\
imitation could
result in serious damage to the vehicle, loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover and/
or personal injury. Note: Replacement tires with a higher limit than that of the originals
do not increase the payload capacity. See the Owner’s Manual for more\
information.
Please store this safety guide inside the vehicle along with the Owner’\
s Manual materials.
