TIRES — GENERAL INFORMATION 
Tire Pressure 
Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the 
safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. 
Four primary areas are affected by improper tire 
pressure:
Safety
Fuel Economy
Tread Wear
Ride Comfort and Vehicle Stability
Safety Both underinflation and overinflation affect the 
stability of the vehicle and can produce a feeling of 
sluggish response or over responsiveness in the 
steering.
NOTE:
Unequal tire pressures from side to side may 
cause erratic and unpredictable steering 
response.
Unequal tire pressure from side to side may 
cause the vehicle to drift left or right.
Fuel Economy
Underinflated tires will increase tire rolling 
resistance resulting in higher fuel consumption. Tread Wear
Improper cold tire inflation pressures can cause 
abnormal wear patterns and reduced tread life, 
resulting in the need for earlier tire replacement.
Ride Comfort And Vehicle Stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a comfortable 
ride. Overinflation produces a jarring and 
uncomfortable ride.
Tire Inflation Pressures 
The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on 
the driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's 
side door.
At least once a month:
Check and adjust tire pressure with a good 
quality pocket-type pressure gauge. Do not 
make a visual judgment when determining 
proper inflation. Tires may look properly inflated 
even when they are underinflated.
Inspect tires for signs of tire wear or visible 
damage.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and 
can cause collisions.
Underinflation increases tire flexing and can 
result in overheating and tire failure.
Overinflation reduces a tire's ability to cushion 
shock. Objects on the road and chuckholes 
can cause damage that result in tire failure.
Overinflated or underinflated tires can affect 
vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, 
resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering 
problems. You could lose control of your 
vehicle.
Unequal tire pressures from one side of the 
vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to 
drift to the right or left.
Always drive with each tire inflated to the 
recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
WARNING!
CAUTION!
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, 
always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will 
prevent moisture and dirt from entering the 
valve stem, which could damage the valve stem.
22_MP_OM_EN_USC_t.book  Page 306   

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE309
Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as 
little exposure to light as possible. Protect tires 
from contact with oil, grease, and gasoline.
Replacement Tires 
The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of 
many characteristics. They should be inspected 
regularly for wear and correct cold tire inflation 
pressures. The manufacturer strongly 
recommends that you use tires equivalent to the 
originals in size, quality and performance when 
replacement is needed  Ú page 308. Refer to the 
Tire and Loading Information placard or the 
Vehicle Certification Label for the size designation 
of your tire. The Load Index and Speed Symbol for 
your tire will be found on the original equipment 
tire sidewall.
For more information relating to the Load Index 
and Speed Symbol of a tire  Ú page 298.
It is recommended to replace the two front tires or 
two rear tires as a pair. Replacing just one tire can 
seriously affect your vehicle’s handling. If you ever 
replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s 
specifications match those of the original wheels.
It is recommended you contact an authorized tire 
dealer or original equipment dealer with any 
questions you may have on tire specifications or 
capability. Failure to use equivalent replacement 
tires may adversely affect the safety, handling, and 
ride of your vehicle.
TIRE TYPES
All Season Tires — If Equipped
All Season tires provide traction for all seasons 
(Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter). Traction 
levels may vary between different All Season tires. 
All Season tires can be identified by the M+S, M&S, 
M/S or MS designation on the tire sidewall. Use All 
Season tires only in sets of four; failure to do so 
may adversely affect the safety and handling of 
your vehicle.
Summer Or Three Season Tires — 
If Equipped
Summer tires provide traction in both wet and dry 
conditions, and are not intended to be driven in 
snow or on ice. If your vehicle is equipped with 
Summer tires, be aware these tires are not 
designed for Winter or cold driving conditions. 
Install Winter tires on your vehicle when ambient 
temperatures are less than 40°F (5°C) or if roads 
are covered with ice or snow. For more 
information, contact an authorized dealer.
WARNING!
Do not use a tire, wheel size, load rating, or 
speed rating other than that specified for your 
vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved 
tires and wheels may change suspension 
dimensions and performance characteristics, 
resulting in changes to steering, handling, and 
braking of your vehicle. This can cause unpre -
dictable handling and stress to steering and 
suspension components. You could lose 
control and have a collision resulting in 
serious injury or death. Use only the tire and 
wheel sizes with load ratings approved for 
your vehicle.
Never use a tire with a smaller load index or 
capacity other than what was originally 
equipped on your vehicle. Using a tire with a 
smaller load index could result in tire over -
loading and failure. You could lose control and 
have a collision.
Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having 
adequate speed capability can result in 
sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different 
size may result in false speedometer and 
odometer readings.
