Tire Information
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and size, in good condition with adequate tread, and properly inated.
Inflation Guidelines
•  Properly inated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and
comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or the specications (see page 147) for the specied pressure.
•  Underinated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy,
and are more likely to fail from overheating.
•  Overinated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road hazards,
and wear unevenly.
•  Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower than the
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
•  Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If necessary, add or release air until the specied pressure is reached, and then calibrate the system
(see page 118). If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.5 kgf/cm 2
) higher than checked when cold.
•  At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure in
all tires, including the spare. Even tires in good condition can lose 1–2 psi (10–20 kPa, 0.1–0.2 kgf/cm 2
) per month.
Inspection Guidelines
Every time you inate the tires, check for the following: •  Any damage to tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in the side or
tread. Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. Replace tires if you see fabric or cord.
•  Uneven or excessive tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.
•  Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.
Wear Indicators
The groove where the wear indicator is located is 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than elsewhere on the tire. If the tread has worn so low that the indicator is exposed, replace the tire. Worn out tires have poor
traction on wet roads.
Example of a wear indicator mark
Tire and Loading Information Label
The label attached to the driver’s doorjamb provides necessary tire and loading information.
Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating, and
maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall). Using tires of a
different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems to work incorrectly.
It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn’t possible, replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specications match those of the original wheels. Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire ination and maintenance
.

Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability. This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires recommended in the Owner’s Manual.

MAINTENANCE
Tire Service Life
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road
conditions, vehicle loading, ination pressure, maintenance history, speed, and environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use). In addition to regular inspections and ination pressure maintenance, it is recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach ve years old. All tires, including the spare, should be removed from service after 10 years
from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear.
Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked “M+S”, snow tires,
or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufcient distance between vehicles when
driving. For winter tires, select the size and load ranges that are the same as the original tires, and mount them to all four wheels.
Tire Chains
Because your vehicle has limited tire clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains: For 215/55R16 tires:
Cable-type: Autotrac 0154505 For 215/50R17 tires:
Cable-type: Autotrac 0154005
Install tire chains on the front tires only. Mount chains as tightly as you can, and make sure that they do not touch the brake lines or suspension.
Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage the brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or killed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of tire chains.
WARNING
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can damage your
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are hitting any part of the vehicle.
NOTICE
Tire Labeling
The tires that came on your vehicle have a number of markings. Those you
should be aware of are described below. Here is an example of what each marking means: P205/55R16 89H
P: Vehicle type (passenger)205: tire width in millimeters55: aspect ratio (tire section height as a percentage of its width) R: tire construction code (radial)16: rim diameter in inches89: load index (code indicating maximum load tire can carry) H: speed symbol (code indicating maximum speed rating)
Tire Identification Number (TIN)
The tire identication number (TIN) is a group of numbers and letters that look like the
example below. TIN is located on the sidewall of the tire.
Glossary of Tire Terminology
Cold Tire Pressure – The tire air pressure when the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). Load Rating – The maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a given ination pressure. Maximum Ination Pressure – The maximum tire air pressure that the tire can hold.
Maximum Load Rating – The load rating for a tire at the maximum permissible ination pressure for that tire. Recommended Ination Pressure – The cold tire ination pressure
recommended by the manufacturer.
Treadwear Indicators (TWI) – The projections within the principal grooves designed to give a visual indication of the degrees of wear of the tread.

Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has “readiness codes” as part of the onboard self-diagnostic system. Some
states refer to these codes as a test to see if your vehicle’s emissions components are
working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine. The malfunction
indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes off, the readiness codes are set. If it blinks ve times, the readiness codes are not set. If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness codes are set, prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle for 20 seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in Park (P) or Neutral for manual transmission. Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there for about 3 minutes.
6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7. Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway with
the vehicle in Drive (D) or 5th gear. Do not use cruise control. When trafc allows,
drive for 90 seconds without using the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary
slightly; this is OK.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of
trafc conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat two more times (for a total of 90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban trafc for at least 10 minutes. When trafc conditions allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.
9. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you may be
requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your dealer.SPECIFICATIONS 1.5-L engine models
