TIRE CARE

Tire glossary

Refer to page 278 for a glossary of terms

and definitions associated with tire

pressures and vehicle weights.

Tire pressures

!

WARNING:

Improperly inflated tires can affect

vehicle handling and can fail suddenly,

possibly resulting in loss of vehicle

control.

Caution: Never exceed the maximum

pressure stated on the sidewall. Over

inflation could cause the tire to fail

suddenly.

In the interest of safety, reliability and fuel

efficiency, check the tires, including the

spare, for condition and pressure on a

weekly basis and before long journeys.

Pressure checks must be carried out

when the tires are cold and the vehicle

has been standing in ambient local

conditions for at least one hour.

Do not check tire pressures immediately

after the vehicle has travelled in excess of

1.6 km (1mile). Tire temperatures and

pressures increase when running.

Deflating a warm tire to the recommended

pressure will result in under inflation.

If tire pressures are checked while the

vehicle is inside a protected covered area,

e.g. a garage, and subsequently driven in

lower outdoor temperatures, tire under

inflation could occur.

A slight pressure loss occurs naturally

with time. If this exceeds 0.14 bar

(2 lbf/in

2

, 14 kPa) per week, have the

cause investigated and rectified by a

qualified assistance.

If winter tires are fitted, please refer to the

winter tire pressure information on page

265.

Tire pressure label

(Canada and Mexico only)

A tire recommendation label is located on

the end of driver’s door, giving

information specific to the vehicle’s wheel

and tire equipment.

These pressures provide optimum ride

and handling characteristics for all normal

operating conditions.
