{Warning
Insufficiently inflated or worn-out
tires are highly dangerous as they
easily skid and can even burst.
Should they burst, the tires may
burn and this could cause a fire in
the vehicle.
If you drive on under-inflated or
flat tires, the wheel studs will be
placed under excessive stress.
Under such conditions, the bolts
may break and the wheel may
detach from the vehicle, possibly
causing an accident.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Over-inflated tires result in a
harsh ride and are likely to cause
damage to the cargo.
Under-inflated tires build up heat
and could burst. Always keep the
tires of your vehicle adjusted at
the standard air pressures.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
There should not be a difference
tires on a dual-tire wheel.
It is not easy to visually identify an
under-inflated dual-wheel tire or low
aspect ratio tire (aspect ratio at

How to check: This operation could
be difficult and you may choose to
have this done at your dealer
Service Department.
1. Turn the engine control switch to
the "ON" position (not to start the
engine), and press the brake pedal
several times.
2. Check for the noisy sound of the
electric vacuum pump inside the
instrument panel at the same time
as vacuum warning buzzer sound,
and check that the brake low
vacuum warning light comes on.
3. Then, after you start the engine,
the main vacuum pump driven by
the engine will start running. If the
electric vacuum pump operation
(noisy sound) and the vacuum
warning buzzer stop, and the brake
low vacuum warning light goes off
thereafter, the operation is normal.
4. If you cannot hear the noisy
sound of the electric vacuum pump,
check the electrical wiring and
repair as necessary. If it cannot be
repaired, replace the electric
vacuum pump.20. BRAKE FLUID :
