SAFETY WARNING DISREGARDING ANY OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL MAY RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS Any under inflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire destruction. If tires are supplied as original equipment, refer to the tire decal on the vehicle (check vehicle and/or vehicle owner's manual for decal location) for the recommended operating pressures. For replacement tires, the correct inflation pressure will be provided by your tire retailer; if not, refer to the vehicle decal. These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. However, do not exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated on the tire sidewall. CHECK THE COLD INFLATION PRESSURES IN ALL YOUR TIRES, INCLUDING THE SPARE, AT LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in improper vehicle handling and may cause rapid and irregular tire wear, sudden tire destruction, loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury. Therefore, inflation pressures should be checked at least once each month and always prior to long distance trips. This applies to all tires, including self-sealant types, self-supporting runflat types and other extended mobility tires, which are as susceptible to losing air pressure as any other type of tire, if not properly maintained. Pressures should be checked when tires are cold, in other words, before they have been driven on. Driving, even for a short distance, causes tires to heat up and air pressure to increase. Checking pressure when tires are hot: If pressures are checked after tires have been driven for more than three minutes or more than one mile, (2 km) the tires become hot and the pressures will increase by approximately 4 psi. Therefore when the tire pressure is adjusted under these conditions, it should be increased to a gauge reading of 4 psi greater than the recommended cold inflation pressure. 29

SAFETY WARNING
DISREGARDING ANY OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL MAY RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE OR EXPLO-
SION CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT
INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS
Any under inflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire
destruction. If tires are supplied as original equipment, refer to the tire decal on
the vehicle (check vehicle and/or vehicle owner’s manual for decal location) for
the recommended operating pressures. For replacement tires, the correct inflation
pressure will be provided by your tire retailer; if not, refer to the vehicle decal.
These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. However, do not
exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.
CHECK THE COLD INFLATION PRESSURES IN ALL YOUR TIRES,
INCLUDING THE SPARE, AT LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in improper vehicle handling and
may cause rapid and irregular tire wear, sudden tire destruction, loss of vehicle
control and serious personal injury. Therefore, inflation pressures should be
checked at least once each month and always prior to long distance trips. This
applies to all tires, including self-sealant types, self-supporting runflat types and
other extended mobility tires, which are as susceptible to losing air pressure as
any other type of tire, if not properly maintained.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold, in other words, before they
have been driven on. Driving, even for a short distance, causes tires to heat up
and air pressure to increase.
Checking pressure when tires are hot:
If pressures are checked after tires have been driven for more than three min-
utes or more than one mile, (2 km) the tires become hot and the pressures will
increase by approximately 4 psi. Therefore when the tire pressure is adjusted
under these conditions, it should be increased to a gauge reading of 4 psi greater
than the recommended cold inflation pressure.
