Potential problems associated with
underinflated and overinflated tires
Underinflated tires
Underinflated tires can:
ț cause excessive and uneven tire wear
ț adversely affect fuel economy
ț lead to tire failure from being
overheated
ț adversely affect handling
characteristics
i
Reactivate the TPMS after adjusting the tire
inflation pressure to the inflation pressure rec-
ommended for the vehicle operating condition.
Tire pressure should only be adjusted on cold
tires. Observe the recommended tire inflation
pressure on the placard on the driver’s door
B-pillar (
page 376). Some vehicles may have
supplemental tire pressure information for driv-
ing at high speeds (
page 381) or for vehicle
loads less than the maximum loaded vehicle con-
dition (
page 382). If such information is pro-
vided, it can be found on the inside of the fuel
filler flap.
Warning! G
Follow recommended tire inflation
pressures.
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.
