Make sure this vehicle’s tires are properly inflated and the tread is not worn down. Check

tire pressure using a tire gauge and tread wear at every fuel fill-up. Recommended tire

pressure can be found on the label inside the driver’s side door or door frame. Your

vehicle may be equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System which is NO T a substitute

for manually checking tire pressure. Visit www.checkmytires.org for additional information.

Tires degrade over time depending on many factors such as weather, storage conditions,

and conditions of use (load, speed, inflation pressure, etc.) the tires experience throughout

their lives. In general, tires should be replaced after six years regardless of tread wear.

However, heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate

the aging process and may require tires to be replaced more frequently. You should

replace your spare tire when you replace the road tires or after six years due to aging

even if it has not been used.

Do not use replacement tires with lower load-carrying capacities than the original tires (for

example, E-250 and E-350 vans and wagons are equipped with “E” load-rated tires and

must be replaced with “E” load-rated tires). Exceeding any vehicle weight or load-rating

limitation could result in serious damage to the vehicle, loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover

and/or personal injury. (Note: Replacement tires with a higher limit than that of the originals

do not increase the payload capacity.) See the O wner’s Guide for more information.

Please store this safety guide inside the vehicle along with the O wner’s Guide materials.
