WARNING Incorrect tire pressure can cause a sudden tire failure or blowout, loss of control, collision, Always inflate tires to the recommended and correct cold tire pressure before driving off. of pressure, and blowouts. Tires with excessively low pressure flex (bend) more, which can Excessive speed and/or overloading can cause heat buildup, sudden tire failure including a blowout and sudden deflation and loss of control. If the tire pressure is too low or too high, the tires will wear prematurely and the vehicle will not handle well. Regularly check tire inflation pressure, at least once a month, and also especially before a long trip. Check the pressure in all 4 tires when the tires are still cold. Never reduce air pressure in warm tires to match cold tire inflation pressure.
NOTICE Make sure not to jam the tire pressure gauge into the valve stem. Otherwise you can dam- age the tire valves. Driving without valve caps, with the wrong valve caps, or with valve caps that are not properly screwed on can damage the tire valves. To help prevent damage, always use valve Underinflation increases fuel consumption. When the TPMS warns that the pressure in at least one tire is too low, check the tire pressure in all 4 tires with an accurate tire pressure gauge. Low tire pressure usually cannot be spotted by looking at the tire. This is especially true for low-profile tires. When checking the tire pressures, refer to ⇒ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Tire inflation pressure in cold tires Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS on page 176.
