Adverse handling or unexpected tire failure could result in a serious accident. Always inflate the tires to the correct pressure (page 10-6). Inspect all tire pressures monthly (including the spare) when the tires are cold. Maintain recommended pressures for the best ride, top handling, and minimum tire wear. Always check tire pressure when tires are cold. Warm tires normally exceed recommended pressures. Don't release air from warm tires to adjust the pressure. Underinflation can cause reduced fuel economy and poor sealing of the tire bead, which will deform the wheel and cause separation of tire from rim. Overinflation can produce a harsh ride and a greater possibility of damage from road hazards. Keep your tire pressure at the correct levels. If one frequently needs inflating, have it inspected. l l l qTire Rotation To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires every 12,000 km (7,500 miles)/8,000 km*(5,000 miles) or sooner if irregular wear develops. During rotation, inspect them for correct balance. * Unique driving conditions for U.S.A., Canada and Puerto Rico Refer to the specification charts (page 10-6). Forward Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY) spare tire in rotation. 8-27 Form No.8T50-EA-04G
