COLD WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
The functional operation of somecomponents and systems can be affected attemperatures below approximately -13°F(-25°C).
BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires forapproximately 300 mi (480 km). During thistime, your vehicle may exhibit some unusualdriving characteristics.
DRIVING ECONOMICALLY
The following helps to improve fuelconsumption:
•Drive smoothly, accelerate gently andanticipate the road ahead to avoid heavybraking.
•Regularly check your tire pressures andmake sure that they are inflated to thecorrect pressure.
•Follow the recommended maintenanceschedule and carry out therecommended checks.
•Plan your journey and check the trafficbefore you set off. It is more efficient tocombine errands into a single tripwhenever possible.
•Avoid idling the engine in cold weatheror for extended periods. Start the engineonly when you are ready to set off.
•Do not carry unnecessary weight in yourvehicle as extra weight wastes fuel.
•Do not add unnecessary accessories tothe exterior of your vehicle, for examplerunning boards. If you use a roof rack,remember to fold it down or remove itwhen not in use.
•Do not shift into neutral when you arebraking or when your vehicle is slowingdown.
•Shut all windows when driving at highspeeds.
•Switch off all electric systems when notin use, for example air conditioning. Makesure that you unplug any accessoriesfrom the auxiliary power points when notin use.

When the tread is worn down to onesixteenth of an inch (2 mm), tires mustbe replaced to help prevent your vehiclefrom skidding and hydroplaning. Built-intreadwear indicators, or wear bars,which look like narrow strips of smoothrubber across the tread will appear onthe tire when the tread is worn down toone sixteenth of an inch (2 mm).
When the tire tread wears down to thesame height as these wear bars, the tireis worn out and must be replaced.
The tires should also be balancedperiodically. An unbalanced tire andwheel assembly may result in irregulartire wear.
Periodically inspect the tire treads foruneven or excessive wear and remove
objects such as stones, nails or glassthat may be wedged in the treadgrooves.
INSPECTING THE TIRE FOR
DAMAGE
Inspect the tire sidewalls for cracking,cuts, bruises and other signs of damageor excessive wear. If internal damage tothe tire is suspected, have the tiredismounted and inspected in case itneeds to be repaired or replaced. Foryour safety, tires that are damaged orshow signs of excessive wear shouldnot be used because they are morelikely to blow out or fail.
Periodically inspect the tire treads andsidewalls for damage, such as bulges inthe tread or sidewalls, cracks in thetread groove and separation in the treador sidewall. If damage is observed orsuspected, have the tire inspected by atire professional.
Safety Practices
WARNING: If your vehicle isstuck in snow, mud or sand, do notrapidly spin the tires; spinning the tirescan tear the tire and cause anexplosion. A tire can explode in as littleas three to five seconds.
WARNING: Do not spin thewheels at over 34 mph (55 km/h). Thetires may fail and injure a passengeror bystander.
Highway Hazards
No matter how carefully you drive, thereis always the possibility that you could
eventually have a flat tire on thehighway. Drive slowly to the closest safearea out of traffic. This could furtherdamage the flat tire, but your safety ismore important.
