MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE TIRE PRESSURES • Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. • The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the "Tire and Loading Information" label located on the driver's side door opening. NOTE: Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for more information regarding tire warnings and instructions. WARNING! • Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them. Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component separation, or "blow out". Over-inflation reduces a tire's ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control. • 127
