Tires
Your new vehicle comes
with high-quality tires made
by a leading tire manufacturer.
If you ever have questions about
your tire warranty and where to
obtain service, see your vehicle
Warranty booklet for details. For
additional information refer to the
tire manufacturer.
{ CAUTION
Poorly maintained and
improperly used tires are
dangerous.
Overloading your
vehicle’s tires can cause
overheating as a result
of too much flexing. You
could have an air-out and
a serious accident. See
Loading the Vehicle on
page 4-16.
Underinflated tires pose
the same danger as
overloaded tires. The
resulting accident could
cause serious injury.

CAUTION (Continued)
Check all tires frequently
to maintain the
recommended pressure.
Tire pressure should be
checked when your
vehicle’s tires are cold.
See Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-42.
Overinflated 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, old tires can cause
accidents. If the tire’s
tread is badly worn, or
if your vehicle’s tires
have been damaged,
replace them.
