chances of a loss of vehicle control
which can lead to serious injury or death.
If the rear end of your vehicle slides while
cornering, steer in the direction of the
slide until you regain control of your
vehicle.

Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Install snow chains in pairs. Do not use
self-tensioning snow chains.

Only use snow chains on the following
specified tire size:

•

235/60R18 all season tires.
•

Only use ultra low profile snow
chains that are 10 mm or less.

We recommend you use steel wheels of
the same size and specification if snow
chains are required because chains may
chip aluminum wheels.

Follow these guidelines when using snow
tires and traction devices:

•

If possible, avoid fully loading your
vehicle.

•

Purchase snow chains from a
manufacturer that clearly labels body
to tire dimension restrictions.

•

When driving with snow chains do not
exceed 30 mph (50 km/h) or the
maximum speed recommended by the
chain manufacturer, whichever is less.

•

Drive cautiously. If you hear the snow
chains rub or bang against the vehicle,
stop and tighten them. If this does not
work, remove the snow chains to
prevent vehicle damage.

•

Remove the snow chains when they
are no longer needed. Do not use snow
chains on dry roads.

•

If a temporary spare wheel is mounted
on your vehicle, do not use snow chains
on the axle with the temporary spare
wheel.

•

Use snow chains that fit against the
sidewall of the tire to prevent the
chains from touching the wheel rims
or suspension.

If you have any questions regarding snow
tires or snow chains, please contact your
authorized dealer.

Wheel and Tire Information

CHECKING THE TIRE
PRESSURES

Safe operation of your vehicle
requires that your tires are
properly inflated. Every day before
you drive, check your tires.

At least once a month and before
long trips, inspect each tire and
check the tire pressure with a tire
gauge. Inflate all tires to the
recommended inflation pressure.
See

Inflating the Tires

(page

322).

INFLATING THE TIRES

WARNING:

Under-inflation

is the most common cause of
tire failures and may result in
severe tire 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 also may result in
unnecessary tire stress, irregular
wear, loss of vehicle control and
accidents. A tire can lose up to
half of its air pressure and not
appear to be flat!

WARNING:

Do not use the

tire pressure displayed in the
information display as a tire
pressure gauge. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

Use the recommended cold
inflation pressure for optimum tire
performance and wear.
Under-inflation or over-inflation

may cause uneven treadwear
patterns.

Inflate your tires to the
recommended inflation pressure
even if it is less than the maximum
inflation pressure information
found on the tire. You can find the
tire label with the recommended

tire inflation pressure next to the
tire size on the B-Pillar or the edge
of the driver door.

The recommended tire inflation
pressure is also found on the
Safety Compliance Certification
Label, affixed to either the door
hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the
door edge that meets the
door-latch on the B-pillar, or on
the edge of the driver door.

Failure to follow the tire pressure
recommendations can cause
uneven treadwear patterns and
adversely affect the way your
vehicle handles.

322

Tire Care

Checking Pressure when tires
are hot:

If pressures are checked after tires
have been driven for more than
three minutes or more than 1 mile,
(2 km) the tires become hot and
the pressures will increase by
approximately 4 psi (27.6 kPa).
Therefore when the tire pressure
is adjusted under these conditions,
it should be increased to a gauge
reading of 4 psi (27.6 kPa) greater
than the recommended cold
inflation pressure.

After inflating the tires while hot,
make sure to recheck tire pressure
later once the tires are cold.

For Example Only

33 psi (230

kPa)

Gauge reading

of hot tire

32 psi (220

kPa)

If recom-

mended, cold

inflation pres-

sure is

The hot tire pressure is only 1 psi

(10 kPa) greater than the

recommended cold inflation

pressure. Therefore, add 3 psi

(20 kPa) more to increase the

hot pressure to 4 psi (30 kPa)

over the recommended cold

inflation pressure.

INSPECTING THE TIRE FOR
WEAR

E142546

When the tread is worn down to
2/32 inch (1.6 mm), tires must be
replaced to help prevent your
vehicle from skidding and
hydroplaning. Built-in treadwear
indicators, or wear bars, which
look like narrow strips of smooth
rubber across the tread will
appear on the tire when the tread
is worn down to 2/32 inch (1.6
mm).

When the tire tread wears down
to the same height as these wear
bars, the tire is worn out and must
be replaced.

The tires should also be balanced
periodically. An unbalanced tire
and wheel assembly may result in
irregular tire wear.

323

Tire Care

Periodically inspect the tire treads
for uneven or excessive wear and
remove objects such as stones,
nails or glass that may be wedged
in the tread grooves.

INSPECTING THE TIRE FOR
DAMAGE

Inspect the tire sidewalls for
cracking, cuts, bruises and other
signs of damage or excessive
wear. If internal damage to the tire
is suspected, have the tire
dismounted and inspected in case
it needs to be repaired or replaced.
For your safety, tires that are
damaged or show signs of
excessive wear should not be used
because they are more likely to
blow out or fail.
Periodically inspect the tire treads
and sidewalls for damage, such
as bulges in the tread or sidewalls,
cracks in the tread groove and
separation in the tread or sidewall.
If damage is observed or
suspected, have the tire inspected
by a tire professional.

Safety Practices

WARNING:

If your vehicle

is stuck in snow, mud or sand, do
not rapidly spin the tires;
spinning the tires can tear the
tire and cause an explosion. A
tire can explode in as little as
three to five seconds.

WARNING:

Do not spin the

wheels at over 34 mph
(55 km/h). The tires may fail and
injure a passenger or bystander.

HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE
DANGEROUS

Correct inflation pressure is
especially important. However, at
high speeds, even with the correct
inflation pressure, a road hazard
for example is more difficult to
avoid and if contact is made, has
a greater chance of causing tire
damage than at a lower speed.
Moreover, driving at high speed
reduces the reaction time
available to avoid accidents and
bring your vehicle to a safe stop.

If you see any damage to a tire or
wheel, replace it with the spare at
once and visit a participating Tire
Retailer.

Exceeding the maximum speeds
shown on the following page for
each type of tire will cause the tire
to build up excessive heat which
can cause tire damage that could
result in sudden tire destruction
and rapid air loss. Failure to
control a vehicle when one or
more tires experience a sudden air
loss can lead to an accident.

In any case, you should not
exceed reasonable speeds as
indicated by the legal limits
and driving conditions.

324

Tire Care

DO NOT OVERLOAD: DRIVING
ON ANY OVERLOADED TIRE IS
DANGEROUS

The maximum load rating of your
tires is molded on the tire sidewall.
Do not exceed this rating. Follow
the loading instructions of the
manufacturer of your vehicle and
this will ensure that your tires are
not overloaded. Tires which are
loaded beyond their maximum
allowable loads for the particular
application will build up excessive
heat that may result in sudden tire
destruction. Do not exceed the
gross axle weight rating for any
axle on your vehicle.

TIRE ALTERATIONS

Do not make or allow to be made

any alterations on your tires.
Alterations may prevent proper
performance, leading to tire
damage which can result in an
accident. Tires which become
unserviceable due to alterations
such as truing, whitewall inlays,
addition of balancing or sealant
liquids, or the use of tire dressing
containing petroleum distillates
are excluded from warranty
coverage.

REPAIRS - WHEREVER
POSSIBLE, SEE YOUR TIRE
RETAILER AT ONCE

If any tire sustains a puncture,
have the tire demounted and
thoroughly inspected by a tire
retailer for possible damage that
may have occurred. A tread area
puncture in any passenger or light
truck tire can be repaired provided
that the puncture hole is not more
than 1/4” in diameter, not more
than one radial cable per casing
ply is damaged, and the tire has
not been damaged further by the
puncturing object or by running
underinflated. Tire punctures
consistent with these guidelines
should only be repaired by
following the US Tire

Manufacturers Association
(USTMA) recommended repair
procedures. Plug-only repairs
done on-the-wheel are considered
improper and therefore, not
recommended. Such repairs are
not reliable and may cause further
damage to the tire.

STORAGE

Tires contain waxes and
emollients to protect their outer
surfaces from ozone and weather
checking. As the tire rolls and
flexes, the waxes and emollients
continually migrate to the surface,
replenishing this protection
throughout the normal use of the
tire. Consequently, when tires sit
unused for long periods of time (a
month or more) their surfaces

325

Tire Care

become dry and more susceptible
to ozone and weather checking
and the casing becomes
susceptible to flat spotting.

For

this reason, tires should always
be stored in a cool, dry, clean,
indoor environment. If storage
is for one month or more,
eliminate the weight from the
tires by raising the vehicle or by
removing the tires from the
vehicle. Failure to store tires in
accordance with these
instructions could result in
damage to your tires or
premature aging of the tires
and sudden tire failure.

When tires are stored, be sure they
are placed away from sources of
heat and ozone such as direct

sunlight, hot pipes and electric
generators. Be sure that surfaces
on which tires are stored are clean
and free from grease, gasoline or
other substances, which could
deteriorate the rubber. Failure to
store tires in accordance with
these instructions could result in
damage to your tires or premature
aging of the tires and sudden tire
failure.

FOLLOW THESE MOUNTING
RECOMMENDATIONS

Tire changing can be dangerous
and must be done by
professionally trained persons
using proper tools and
procedures as specified by the
US Tire Manufacturers
Association (USTMA). Single
or dual assemblies must be
completely deflated before
demounting.

Your tires should be mounted on
wheels of correct size and type
and which are in good, clean
condition. Wheels that are bent,
chipped, rusted (steel wheels) or
corroded (alloy wheels) may
cause tire damage. The inside of
the tire must be free from foreign

material. Have your retailer check
the wheels before mounting new
tires. Mismatched tires and rims
can explode during mounting.
Also, mismatched tires and rims
can result in dangerous tire failure
on the road. If a tire is mounted by
error on the wrong-sized rim, do
not remount it on the proper rim -
scrap it. It may have been
damaged internally (which is not
externally visible) by having been
dangerously stretched and could
fail on the highway.

326

Tire Care

Old valves may leak. When new
tubeless tires are mounted,
have new valves of the correct
type installed. Tubeless tires
must only be mounted on
wheels designed for tubeless
tires i.e., wheels which have
safety humps or ledges.

It is recommended that you have
your tires and wheels balanced.
Tires and wheels, which are not
balanced, may cause steering
difficulties, a bumpy ride, and
irregular tire wear.

Be sure that all your valves
have suitable valve caps. The
valve cap is the primary seal
against air loss.

TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES

When using any temporary spare
tire, be sure to follow the vehicle
manufacturer’s instructions.

REMEMBER... TO AVOID
DAMAGE TO YOUR TIRES AND
POSSIBLE ACCIDENT:

•

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AT
LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH
WHEN TIRES ARE COLD AND
BEFORE LONG TRIPS.

•

DO NOT
UNDERINFLATE/OVERINFLATE.

•

DO NOT OVERLOAD.

•

DRIVE AT MODERATE

SPEEDS, OBSERVE LEGAL
LIMITS.

•

AVOID DRIVING OVER
POTHOLES, OBSTACLES,
CURBS OR EDGES OF
PAVEMENT.

•

AVOID EXCESSIVE WHEEL
SPINNING.

•

IF YOU SEE ANY DAMAGE TO
A TIRE, REPLACE WITH THE
SPARE AND VISIT ANY
AUTHORIZED RETAILER AT
ONCE.

•

IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS, CONTACT YOUR
AUTHORIZED RETAILER.

Highway Hazards

No matter how carefully you drive,
there is always the possibility that
you could eventually have a flat
tire on the highway. Drive slowly

to the closest safe area out of
traffic. This could further damage
the flat tire, but your safety is
more important.

If you feel a sudden vibration or
ride disturbance while driving, or
you suspect your tire or vehicle
has been damaged, immediately
reduce your speed. Drive with
caution until you can safely pull
off the road. Stop and inspect the
tires for damage. If a tire is
under-inflated or damaged,
deflate it, remove the wheel and
replace it with your spare tire and
wheel. If you cannot detect a
cause, have the vehicle towed to
the nearest repair facility or tire
dealer to have the vehicle
inspected.

327

Tire Care

Tire and Wheel Alignment

A bad jolt from hitting a curb or
pothole can cause the front end
of your vehicle to become
misaligned or cause damage to
your tires. If your vehicle seems to
pull to one side when you are
driving, the wheels could be out of
alignment. Have an authorized
dealer check the wheel alignment
periodically.

Wheel misalignment in the front
or the rear can cause uneven and
rapid treadwear of your tires and
should be corrected by an
authorized dealer.

INSPECTING THE WHEEL
VALVE STEMS

Check the valve stems for holes,
cracks, or cuts that could permit
air leakage.

TIRE ROTATION

WARNING:

If the tire label

shows different tire pressures for
the front and rear tires and the
vehicle has a tire pressure
monitoring system, then you
need to update the settings for
the system sensors. Always

perform the system reset
procedure after tire rotation. If
you do not reset the system, it
may not provide a low tire
pressure warning when
necessary.

Rotating your tires at the
recommended interval will help
your tires wear more evenly,
providing better tire performance
and longer tire life.

Note:

If your tires show any uneven

wear have the alignment checked
by an authorized dealer before
rotating tires.

Note:

If you have a dissimilar spare

wheel and tire assembly, it is
intended for temporary use only
and should not be used in a tire

rotation.

Note:

After having your tires

rotated, inflation pressure must be
checked and adjusted to the
vehicle requirements.

Tire Care

WHAT IS THE TIRE SEALANT
AND INFLATOR KIT

The kit consists of an air compressor to
re-inflate the tire and a canister of sealing
compound that will effectively seal most
punctures. This kit will provide a temporary
tire repair allowing you to drive your vehicle
up to 120 mi (200 km) at a maximum
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) to reach a tire
service location.

Note:

The temporary mobility kit contains

enough sealant compound in the canister
for one tire repair only. See an authorized
dealer for replacement sealant canisters.

TIRE SEALANT AND INFLATOR
KIT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Failure to follow these

guidelines could result in an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or
death.

WARNING:

Do not run the engine

when operating the air compressor
unless the vehicle is outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area.

Note:

Do not use the kit if a tire has become

severely damaged. Only punctures located
within the tire tread can be sealed with the
kit.

Do not attempt to repair punctures larger
than 0.24 in (6 mm) or damage to the tire's
sidewall. The tire may not completely seal.

•

Drive carefully and avoid abrupt
steering maneuvers.

•

Periodically monitor tire inflation
pressure in the affected tire; if the tire
is losing pressure, have the vehicle
towed.

•

Read the information in the Tips for
Use of the Kit section to make sure safe
operation of the kit and your vehicle.

After sealant use, the tire pressure
monitoring system sensor and valve stem
on the wheel must be replaced by an
authorized dealer.

away from moving traffic.

•

Do not remove any foreign objects,
such as nails or screws, from the tire.

•

Do not allow the compressor to
operate continuously for more than 15
minutes. This prevents the compressor
from overheating.

•

Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between -22°F (-30°C)
and 158°F (70°C).

•

Only use the sealing compound before
the use-by date. The use-by date is on
a label on the sealant canister and can
be seen through the rectangular
viewing window on the bottom of the
compressor. Check the use-by date
regularly and replace the canister when
the sealant expires.

Note:

WHAT IS THE TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM

E139232

The tire pressure monitoring
system measures the vehicle's
tire pressures. A warning lamp

illuminates if one or more tires are
significantly underinflated or if there is a
system malfunction.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM OVERVIEW

WARNING:

Under-inflation is the

most common cause of tire failures and
may result in severe tire 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 also may result in
unnecessary tire stress, irregular wear,
loss of vehicle control and accidents. A
tire can lose up to half of its air pressure
and not appear to be flat!

WARNING:

To determine the

required pressure(s) for your vehicle, see
the Safety Compliance Certification
Label (on the door hinge pillar,
door-latch post or the door edge that
meets the door-latch post, next to the
driver seat) or the Tire Label on the
B-Pillar or the edge of the driver door.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires).

As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance, and
it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.

337

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

The tire pressure

monitoring system is not a substitute for
manually checking tire pressures. You
should periodically check tire pressures
using a pressure gauge. Failure to
correctly maintain tire pressures could
increase the risk of tire failure, loss of
control, vehicle rollover and personal
injury.

WARNING:

Do not use the tire

pressure displayed in the information
display as a tire pressure gauge. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

Note:

The use of tire sealants can damage

the tire pressure monitoring system.

Note:

If the tire pressure monitor sensor

becomes damaged it may not function.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

When the outside temperature drops
significantly, the tire pressure could
decrease and activate the low tire pressure
warning lamp.

The warning lamp could also illuminate
when you use a spare wheel, or tire sealant
from the inflator kit.

Note:

Regularly checking the vehicle tire

pressures can reduce the possibility for the
warning lamp to illuminate due to outside
air temperature changes.

Note:

After you inflate the tires to the

recommended pressure it could take up to
two minutes of driving over 20 mph
(32 km/h) for the warning indicator to turn
off.

CHANGING A FLAT TIRE

WARNING:

If the tire pressure

monitor sensor becomes damaged it
may not function.

If you get a flat tire while driving, do not
apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease your speed. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe
place on the side of the road.

Have a flat serviced by an authorized
dealer in order to prevent damage to the
tire pressure monitoring system sensors.
See

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Overview

(page 337). Replace the spare

tire with a road tire as soon as possible.
During repairing or replacing of the flat tire,
have an authorized dealer inspect the tire
pressure monitoring system sensor for
damage.

Note:

The use of tire sealant could damage

your tire pressure monitoring sensor and
should only be used in roadside
emergencies. If you must use a sealant, use
the Tire Mobility Kit sealant. Replace the tire
pressure monitoring system sensor and
valve stem on the wheel by an authorized
dealer after use of the sealant.

Note:

The tire pressure monitoring system

indicator light will illuminate when the spare
tire is in use. To restore the full function of
the monitoring system, all road wheels
equipped with tire pressure monitoring
sensors must be mounted on the vehicle.

Dissimilar Spare Wheel and Tire
Assembly Information

WARNING:

Failure to follow these

guidelines could result in an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or
death.

If you have a dissimilar spare wheel and
tire, then it is intended for temporary use
only. This means that if you need to use it,
you should replace it as soon as possible
with a road wheel and tire assembly that
is the same size and type as the road tires
and wheels that were originally provided
on your vehicle. If the dissimilar spare tire
or wheel is damaged, replace it instead of
repairing it.

A dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly
is defined as a spare wheel and tire
assembly that is different in brand, size or
appearance from the road tires and wheels
and can be one of three types:

T-type mini-spare:

This spare tire

begins with the letter T for tire size and
could have Temporary Use Only molded
in the sidewall.

WHEEL NUTS

WARNING:

When you install a

wheel, always remove any corrosion, dirt
or foreign materials present on the
mounting surfaces of the wheel or the
surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make
sure to secure any fasteners that attach
the rotor to the hub so they do not
interfere with the mounting surfaces of
