A WARNING 1 = -
The traction grade ass igned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration, cor­ nering, hydroplaning or peak tract ion charac­
teristics.
A WARNING
The temperature grade for this t ire is estab­
lished for a t ire that is properly inflated and
no t overloaded. Excess ive speed, underinfla­
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.
A WARNING
Temperature grades apply to tires that are properly inflated and not over or underinflat­
ed.
Tire pressure monitoring system
(!) General notes
Applies to: veh icles with tire pressure monitoring system
-
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when co ld and inflat­
ed to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placa rd or
tire i nflat ion pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different s ize tha n the s ize indicated on
the veh icle placard or tire inflation pressure la­
be l, yo u sh ou ld de termine the prope r tire infla­
tion pressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature, your veh icle has been
eq uipped w ith a tire pressu re monito ring sys tem
(TPMS) that ill uminates a low tire p ress ure te ll­
tale when one or more of your tires is significan t­
l y under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
p ressure tellta le illuminates, you should stop and
check yo ur tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a s ignifi­
cantly under-i nflated tire causes the tire to over­
h eat and can lead to t ire failure . Unde r-inflation
a lso reduces fuel efficiency and t ire t read life,
Wh eel s
and may affect the vehicle 's handling an d stop ­
ping ability.
Please note tha t the TPM S is not a s ubstitute fo r
prope r ti re maintenance, a nd it is the dr iver's re­
spons ibility to maintain co rrect t ire pressure,
even if under-inflatio n has not reached the level
to t rigge r ill umination of the TPMS low t ire pres­
s ur e te lltale .
Yo ur vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the sys­
tem is not ope rating properly. The TP MS ma l­
funct ion indicator is combined with the low t ire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfu nction, the telltale w ill flash for app roxi­
mately one m inute and t hen rema in continuously
illuminated . Thi s seque nce w ill cont inue upon
s u bsequent vehicle star t-ups as long as the mal­
funct ion exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illum inated,
the system may not be able to detect o r signal
l ow tire p ressure as intended. TPMS malfunct ions
may occur fo r a v arie ty of reaso ns, including the
insta llation o f replacement or al ternate tires or
whee ls on the vehicle that p revent the TPMS
from functioning proper ly . Always check the
TPMS ma lf u nction te lltale after replac ing one or
more tires or wheels on yo ur vehicle to ensure
that the rep lacement or a lt ernate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function prope rly.
' If the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
indicator appears
Applies to: vehicles wi th Tire Pressur e Mon ito ring System in·
dicator
The tire pressure indicator in the ins trument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too low
or if there is a system malfunction .
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure monitor­
ing system compares the tire tread c ircumfer­
ence and v ibration characterist ics of the ind ividu ­
al tires. If the pressure changes in one o r more
whee ls, this is indicated in the inst rument cl uste r
display with t he
[IJ indica to r light and a mes­
sage . If only one tire is affec ted, the locat ion of
that tire w ill be indicated. .,,.
