tire pressure. Please refer to

your Owner’s Guide.

Tire Pressure

Your vehicle’s tire pressure

speciFcations are found

on the vehicle’s Safety

Compliance CertiFcation

Label located on the driver’s

door jamb.

Check your

tires for proper air pressure

monthly; check the air

pressure in your spare tire

every six months. Always

use an accurate tire pressure

gauge.

Check the tire

pressure when tires are cold,

after the vehicle has been

parked for at least three hours

or has been driven less than

three miles.

(As you drive,

the temperature in the tire

warms up, increasing the

tire pressure.)

Improperly

in³ated tires can aéct

vehicle handling and can

fail suddenly, resulting in

a possible loss of vehicle

control.

Refer to the Tires,

Wheels and Loading chapter

in the Owner’s Guide for

further information.

±or more

information regarding the fuel

pump shut-o´ switch, refer

to the Roadside Emergencies

chapter of your Owner’s

Guide.

Rear Window Bu±eting

When one or both of the

approximately two to three

inches.
