Fill the tires to the proper tire pressures as listed on the Tire and Loading Information label, located below the driver’s door latch . Current tire pressures can be viewed in the Driver Information Center .
Tire pressure is affected by cold weather and distance driven . If the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates when the vehicle is first started in cooler temperatures and then turns off as the vehicle is driven, check for the proper tire pressures .
Refer to your Owner Manual for additional information about normal monthly tire maintenance.

To help reduce wind noise when not in use, move the front cross rail to the forwardmost
position and the rear cross rail to the rearwardmost position .
