NOTICE
[ Ambient temperature affects tire pressure (about 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C)
change). If colder temperatures are anticipated, it is permissible to increase cold
tire inflation pressure by up to 3 psi (20 kPa) over the specification. If extreme
temperature changes are expected, be sure to check and adjust tire pressure
accordingly.
[ Tire inflation pressure decreases with higher elevation, and increases with lower
elevation (about 2.4 psi (10 kPa) for every mile (or kilometer) elevation change).
Be sure to check and adjust tire pressure accordingly when driving through
changing elevations.
[ Do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure, as found on the sidewall of the
tire(s).
CAUTION
When replacing tires, ALWAYS use the same size, type, brand, construction and
tread pattern supplied with the vehicle. If not, it can damage the related parts or
make it work irregularly.
TIRES AND WHEELS

A: Driver’s front air bag (1)
When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently
severe impact to the front of the vehicle,
it will automatically deploy the front air
bags.
B0074EE05
B: Driver’s front air bag (2)
Upon deployment, tear seam molded
directly into the pad cover will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
air bags. Further opening of the covers
allows full inflation of the air bags.
A fully inflated air bag, in combination
with a properly worn seat belt, slows the
driver’s or the front passenger’s forward
motion, reducing the risk of head and
chest injury.
B0074EE06
B0074EE07
C: Driver’s front air bag (3)
D: Passenger’s front air bag
After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibility
and the ability to steer or operate other
controls.
WARNING
To prevent objects from becoming
dangerous projectiles when the
passenger’s air bag inflates:
[ Do not install or place any objects
(drink holder, CD holder, stickers,
etc.) on the front passenger’s panel
above the glove box where the
passenger’s air bag is located.
[ Do not install a container of liquid
air freshener near the instrument
cluster or on the instrument panel
surface.
