346 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! •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. 2. Economy- Improper inflation pressures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread life resulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Under-inflation also increases tire rolling resistance and results in higher fuel consumption. 3. Ride Comfort and Vehicle Stability- Proper tire inflation contributes to a comfortable ride. Over-inflation produces a jarring and uncomfortable ride. Tire Inflation Pressures The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed either on the face of the driver's door or on the driver's side "B" pillar. Some vehicles may have Supplemental Tire Pressure Information for vehicle loads that are less than the maximum loaded vehicle condition. These pressure conditions will be found in the "Supplemental Tire Pressure Information" section of this manual.
