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 inlated.
Inflation Guidelines
•  Properly inlated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and 
comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or the speciications (see page  130) 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 speciied pressure is reached, and then calibrate the 
system (see page 102). 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 inlate 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. 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
.
WARNING
Original tire sizesNumber of  people your vehicle can carry Proper cold tire pressure
Total weight your vehicle can carry (do not exceed)
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 speciications match  those of the original wheels.
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.
WARNING
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 inlation pressure maintenance, it is  recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach
ive 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 suficient 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
Install tire chains on the front tires only. Because your vehicle has limited tire  clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains: Cable type: SCC
Radial Chain SC1026. Mount chains as tightly as you can, and make sure that they do not touch the brake lines or suspension.
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
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.

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: 185/55R16 83V•  185: tire width in millimeters
•  55: aspect ratio (tire section height as
a percentage of its width)
•  R: tire construction code (radial)
•  16: rim diameter in inches
•  83: load index (code indicating
maximum load tire can carry)
•  H: speed symbol (code indicating  maximum speed rating)
Tire Identification Number (TIN)
The tire identiication 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 Inlation Pressure – The maximum tire air pressure that the tire  can hold. Maximum Load Rating – The load rating for a tire at the maximum
permissible inlation pressure for that tire. Recommended Inlation Pressure – The cold tire inlation 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.

Temperature
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s
resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested  under controlled conditions on a speciied indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce
tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade
C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the 
minimum required by law.
WARNING:  The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that 
is properly inlated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinlation, or  excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
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 emissions 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 ive times, the readiness codes are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle emissions 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 (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 (manual transmission). 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 trafic conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat two more times (for a total of 90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban trafic for at least 10 minutes. When trafic 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 an emissions 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.
