Safety
information
WARNING
A
tire
with
too
little
or
no
tire
inflation
pressure
may
heat
up
significantly
and
sustain
damage.
This
will
have
a
negative
impact
on
aspects
of handling,
such
as
steering
and
braking
rej
sponse.
There
is
a
risk
of
an
accident.
Regularly
check
the
tire
inflation
pressure,
and
correct
it as
needed,
for
instance
twice
a
month
and
bej
fore
a
long
trip.
Tire
inflation
pressure
specifications
In
the
tire
inflation
pressure
table The
tire
inflation
pressure
table,
refer
to
page
342,
contains
all
tire
inflation
pressure
specifications
for
the
specified
tire
sizes
at
the
ambient
temperature.
The
tire
inflation
pressure
values
apply
to
tire
sizes
approved
by
the
manuj
facturer
of
the
vehicle
for
the
vehicle
type.
To
identify
the
correct
tire
inflation
pressure,
please
note
the
following:'xTire
sizes
of
your
vehicle.'xMaximum
permitted
driving
speed.
On
the
Control

The
current
tire
inflation
pressure
values
and
the
intended
tire

values
for
the

can
be
displayed
on
the
Control Display.
To
ensure
that
they
are
displayed
correctly,
the tire
sizes
must
be
stored
in
the
system
and
must have
been
set,
refer
to
page
354,
for
the
mounted
tires.
The

on
each
tire.
The

may
under-read
by
up
to
0.1

All
passenger
vehicle
tires
must
conform
to
Fedj
eral
Safety
Requirements
in
addition
to
these
grades.
Treadwear
The
treadwear
grade
is
a
comparative
rating
based
on
the
wear
rate
of
the
tire
when
tested under
controlled
conditions
on
a
specified
govj
ernment
test
course.
E.g.,
a
tire
graded
150
would
wear
one
and
one-half,
1
g,
times
as
well on
the
government
course
as
a
tire
graded
100.
The
relative
performance
of
tires
depends
upon
the
actual
conditions
of
their
use,
however,
and may
depart
significantly
from
the
norm
due
to
variations
in
driving
habits,
service
practices
and
differences
in
road
characteristics
and
climate.
Traction The
traction
grades,
from
highest
to
lowest,
areAA,
A,
B,
and
C.
Those
grades
represent
the
tire's
ability
to
stop
on
wet
pavement
as
measured
under
controlled conditions
on
specified
government
test
surfaj
ces
of
asphalt
and
concrete.
A
tire
marked
C
may have
poor
traction
performance.
The
traction
grade
assigned
to
this
tire
is
based
on
straight-ahead
braking
traction
tests,
and
does
not
include
acceleration,
cornering,
hydroj planing,
or
peak
traction
characteristics.
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 specified
indoor
laboratory
test
wheel.
Sustained
high
temperature
can
cause
the
material
of
the
tire
to
degenerate
and
reduce
tire
life,
and
excesj
sive
temperature
can
lead
to
sudden
tire
failure.
The
grade
C
corresponds
to
a
level
of
performj
ance
which
all
passenger
vehicle
tires
must
meet
under
the
Federal
Motor
Vehicle
Safety
Standard No.
109.
Grades
Band
A
represent
higher
levelsof
performance
on
the
laboratory
test
wheel
thanthe
minimum
required
by
law.
WARNING
The
temperature
grade
for
this
tire
is
estabj lished
for
a
tire
that
is
properly
inflated
and
not
overloaded.
Excessive
speed,
underinflation,
or
excessive
loading,
either
separately
or
in
comj
bination,
can
cause
heat
buildup
and
possible
tire
failure.
