Inflation labels

Tire inflation placard on U.S. models

Check tire inflation pressure regularly.

Tables listing the recommended inflation pres-

sure for your vehicle can be found on page

172. A tire inflation pressure placard is also

located on the driver's side B-pillar (the struc-

tural member at the side of the vehicle, at the

rear of the driver's door opening). This placard

indicates the designation of the factory-moun-

ted tires on your vehicle, as well as load limits

and inflation pressure.

NOTE

The placards shown indicate inflation pres-

sure for the tires installed on the car at the

factory only.

Use a tire gauge to check the tire inflation pres-

sure, including the spare, at least once a month

and before long trips. You are strongly urged

to buy a reliable tire pressure gauge, as auto-

matic service station gauges may be inaccu-

rate.

Use the recommended cold inflation pressure

for optimum tire performance and wear.

Under-inflation or over-inflation may cause

uneven treadwear patterns.

WARNING

•

Under-inflation is the most common

cause of tire failure and may result in

severe tire cracking, tread separation,

or "blowout," with unexpected loss of

vehicle control and increased risk of

injury.

•

Under-inflated tires reduce the load car-

rying capacity of your vehicle.

When weather temperature changes occur, tire

inflation pressures also change. A 10-degree

temperature drop causes a corresponding

drop of 1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure. Check

your tire pressures frequently and adjust them

to the proper pressure, which can be found on

the vehicle's tire information placard or certifi-

cation label.
