SAFETY WARNING
Driving on tires with improper inflation pressure is dangerous.
• Under-inflation causes excessive tire heat build-up and
internal structural damage.
• Over-inflation makes it more likely for tires to be cut,
punctured, or broken by sudden impact.
These situations can cause a tire failure—(even if the tire is
properly inflated later)—which could lead to serious personal
injury or death. Consult the vehicle tire information placard
and/or owner’s manual for the recommended inflation
pressures.
In addition to tire damage, improper inflation pressure
may also:
• Adversely affect vehicle ride and handling.
• Reduce tire tread wear.
• Affect fuel economy.
Therefore, follow these important recommendations for tire
and vehicle safety, mileage, and economy:
• Always keep the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended
inflation pressure in all your tires, including the spare.
• Check their pressure monthly and before long trips or
carrying extra weight.
Your vehicle’s tire information placard and/or owner’s manual
will tell you the recommended cold inflation pressure for all
your tires, including the spare. Examples of placards are shown
in Figures 1 and 2. Your placard may look differently and have
different tire and loading information than that shown in either
of the gures. You must check the driver’s-side door edge
or door jamb area for the actual placard that applies to
your vehicle. For questions about locating or understanding
the tire information placard, consult your vehicle owner’s
manual or ask a qualied tire service professional.
