Operation Tires and wheels Recommended tire inflation pressure In addition to the tire Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver's door B-pillar, also consult the tire inflation pressure label (if available) for any additional information pertaining to special driving situations. For more information, see "Important notes on tire inflation pressure" ( page 559). Warning! Follow recommended tire inflation pressures. G Do not overload the tires by exceeding the specified load limit as indicated on the Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver's door B-pillar. Overloading the tires can overheat them, possibly causing a blowout. Overloading the tires can also result in handling or steering problems, or brake failure. Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires wear excessively and/or unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated. Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires can adversely affect handling and ride comfort, wear unevenly, increase stopping distance, and result in sudden deflation (blowout) because they are more likely to become punctured or damaged by road debris, potholes etc. Your vehicle is equipped with the Tire and Loading Information placard located on the driver's door B-pillar ( page 553). The tire inflation pressure should be checked regularly and should only be adjusted on cold tires. The tires can be considered cold if the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). Follow recommended cold tire inflation pressures listed on Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver's door B-pillar. Keeping the tires properly inflated provides the best handling, tread life and riding comfort. 558
