WARNING (Continue d)
.
Under inflated tires pose the
same danger as overloaded
tires. The resulting crash
could cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently to
maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure
should be checked when
your tires are cold.
.
Over inflated tires are more
likely to be cut, punctured,
or broken by a sudden
impact — such as when you
hit a pothole. Keep tires at
the recommended pressure.
.
Worn or old tires can cause a
crash. If your tread is badly
worn, replace them.
.
Replace any tires that have
been damaged by impacts
with potholes, curbs, etc.

WARNING (Continue d)
.
Improperly repaired tires can
cause a crash. Only your
dealer or an authorized tire
service center should repair,
replace, dismount, and mount
the tires.
.
Do not spin the tires in
excess of 55 km/h (35 mph)
on slippery surfaces such
as snow, mud, ice, etc.
Excessive spinning may
cause the tires to explode.
See Tire Pressure for High-Speed
Operation on page 10‑58 for
inflation pressure adjustment
for high speed driving.
22‐Inch Tires
If your vehicle has the optional
22‐inch P285/45R2 2 size tires,
they are classified as touring
tires and are designed for
on‐road use. The low‐profile,
wide tread design is not
recommended for off‐road
driving. See Off-Road Driving on
page 9‑7, for additional
information.
Notice: If the vehicle has
low‐profile tires, they are more
susceptible to damage from
road hazards or curb impact
than standard profile tires.
Tire and/or wheel assembly
damage can occur when
coming into contact with
road hazards like, potholes,
or sharp edged objects,
or when sliding into a curb.
The vehicle warranty does
not cover this type of damage.
Keep tires set to the correct
inflation pressure and, when
possible avoid contact with
curbs, potholes, and other
road hazards.
