Possible causes:
Ryou have changed the positions of the wheels and tires or instal-led new wheels and tires
Rthe tire pressure in one or more tires has dropped
GWARNING
Tire pressures that are too low pose the following hazards:
Rthey may burst, especially as the load and vehicle speed increase
Rthey may wear excessively and/or unevenly, which may greatlyimpair tire traction.
Rthe driving characteristics, as well as steering and braking, maybe greatly impaired
There is a risk of an accident.
