find the tire label containing

other important information on the

SAMPLE
▼ Recommended Tire In
flation
Pressure
On the tire label you will find the
recommended tire inflation pressure in
both kPa and psi for the tires installed
as original equipment on the vehicle. It
is very important that the inflation
pressure of the tires on your vehicle is
maintained at the recommended
pressure. You should check the tire
pressure regularly to insure that the
proper in flation pressure is maintained.
Refer to Tires on page 9-5.
NOTE
Tire pressures listed on the vehicle
placard or tire information label
indicate the recommended cold tire
in flation pressure, measured when the
tires are cold, after the vehicle has
been parked for at least 3 hours. As
you drive, the temperature in the tire
warms up, increasing the tire pressure.

WARNING
Always check the tire inflation
pressures on a regular basis according
to the recommended tire inflation
pressure on the tire label and in
conjunction with the information in
this owner's manual:
Driving your vehicle with
under-in flated tires is dangerous.
Under-in flation is the most common
cause of failures in any kind of tire and
may result in severe cracking , tread
separation or “blowout”, with
unexpected loss of vehicle control and
increased risk of injury. Under-inflation
increases sidewall flexing and rolling
resistance, resulting in heat buildup
and internal damage to the tire. It
results in unnecessary tire stress,
irregular wear, loss of control and
accidents. A tire can lose up to half of
its air pressure and not appear to be
fl at!
It is impossible to determine whether
or not tires are properly inflated just by
looking at them.
▼ Checking Tire Pressure
1. When you check the air pressure,
make sure the tires are cold
―meaning they are not hot from
driving even a mile.
2. Remove the cap from the valve on
one tire.
3. Firmly press a tire gauge onto the valve.
4. Add air to achieve recommended air pressure.
5. If you over fill the tire, release air by
pushing on the metal stem in the
center of the valve. Then recheck
the pressure with your tire gauge.
6. Replace the valve cap.
7. Repeat with each tire, including the spare.
NOTE
Some spare tires require higher
inflation pressure.
8. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other
objects embedded that could poke
a hole in the tire and cause an air
leak.
9. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts, bulges,
cracks or other irregularities.
▼Glossary of Terms

WARNING
Do not tow a trailer with this vehicle:
Towing a trailer with this vehicle is
dangerous because it has not been
designed to tow a trailer and doing so
will
aff ect the drive system which could
result in vehicle damage.
This section will guide you in the
proper loading of your vehicle, to keep
your loaded vehicle weight within its
design rating capability. Properly
loading your vehicle will provide
maximum return of vehicle design
performance. Before loading your
vehicle, familiarize yourself with the
following terms for determining your
vehicle's weight ratings, from the
vehicle's Safety Certi fication Label and
Tire and Load Information Label:
WARNING
Overloaded Vehicle:
Overloading a vehi cle is dangerous.
The results of overloading can have
serious consequences in terms of
passenger safety. Too much weight on
a vehicle's suspension system can
cause spring or shock absorber failure,
brake failure, handling or steering
problems, irregular tire wear, tire
failure or other damage.
Overloading makes a vehicle harder to
drive and control. It also increases the
distance required for stopping. In cases
of serious overloading , brakes can fail
completely, particularly on steep
grades. The load a tire will carry safely
is a combination of the size of the tire,
its load range, and corresponding
in flation pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always
observe the vehicle's weight ratings
from the vehicle's Safety Certi fication
and Tire and Load Information labels.
Base Curb Weight is the weight of the
vehicle including all standard
equipment. It does not include
passengers, cargo, or optional
equipment.

Vehicle Curb Weight is the weight of
your new vehicle when you picked it
up from your dealer plus any
aftermarket equipment.

PAY LOA D
Pay l o a d is the combination weight of
cargo and passengers that the vehicle
is designed to carry. The maximum
payload for your vehicle can be found
on the Tire and Load Information label
on the rear door on the driver's side or
door pillar. Look for “THE
COMBINATION WEIGHT OF
OCCUPANTS AND CARGO SHOULD
NEVER EXCEED XXX kg or XXX lbs” for
your maximum payload. The payload
listed on the tire label is the maximum
payload for the vehicle as built by the
assembly plant. If any aftermarket or
dealer installed equipment has been
installed on the vehicle, the weight of
the equipment must be subtracted
