Chassis • Always maintain your tire pressures according to the tire information placard on the driver's door jamb, using an accurate gauge. • Tire pressures are specified "cold" and should be checked after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours. Do not reduce pressure of warm tires. • Check your tire pressure often to maintain it properly. Tire pressure can diminish over time and fluctuate with temperature. • Do not overload your vehicle. Maximum vehicle and axle weights are listed on the tire information placard. • Extra caution should be taken when operating the vehicle near its maximum load, including assuring proper tire pressure and reducing speeds. • Extra caution should be taken when operating on rough roads to avoid impacts that could cause tire damage. • In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect your tires for damage. • Inspect your tires for damage on a regular basis. If a tire is damaged, replace it immediately. • Proper suspension alignment is critical for maximum performance and optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven tire wear, have your alignment checked. • Rotate tires as recommended in the following section Tire rotation. • When replacing tires, the only way to ensure original performance is to use the original equipment tire. If a different tire is used, it should be the same size, speed rating and load rating and be replaced as a set of four. Never mix tire brands. WARNING: For vehicles equipped with optional performance package tires (P265/40-19 front, P285/35-20 rear), only replace wheels and tires with the EXACT original brand, size and construction tire with which your vehicle was originally equipped. Use of any other wheel/tire combinations, even with identical size ratings, may result in insufficient running clearances, tire rubbing and eventual puncture. Loss of tire pressure could lead to a loss of vehicle control leading to serious injury or death. 15 2011 05+ Mustang (197) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)
