General information

Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the vehicle's tire information placard on the B-pillar (the structural

member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening), or on the inside of the fuel filler door on

Canadian models.

The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It should be noted

however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/ice-free surfaces.

Certain models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a somewhat higher degree of road holding on

slippery surfaces than tires without the "all-season" rating. However, for optimum road holding on icy or snow-

covered roads, we recommend suitable winter tires on all four wheels.

When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires are the same size designation, type (radial) and preferably from the

same manufacturer, on all four wheels. Otherwise there is a risk of altering the car's roadholding and handling

characteristics.

Storing wheels and tires

When storing complete wheels (tires mounted on rims), they should be suspended off the floor or placed on their sides

on the floor.

Tires not mounted on rims should be stored on their sides or standing upright, but should not be suspended.
