CAUTION: (Continued)

Underinflated tires pose the same danger as

overloaded tires. The resulting accident

could cause serious injury. Check all tires

frequently to maintain the recommended

pressure. Tire pressure should be checked

when your tires are cold.

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 your

tread is badly worn, or if your tires have

been damaged, replace them.

See “Inflation -- Tire Pressure” in this section

for inflation pressure adjustment for higher

speed driving.

Inflation -- Tire Pressure

The Tire-Loading Information label, which is located on

the rear edge of the driver’s door, shows the correct

inflation pressures for your tires when they’re cold.

“Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for at least

three hours or driven no more than 1 mile (1.6 km).

If you’ll be driving at high speeds (e.g., speeds of

100 mph (160 km/h) or higher), where it is legal, set the

cold inflation pressure to the maximum inflation

pressure shown on the tire sidewall, or to

38 psi (265 kPa), whichever is lower. See the

example below. When you end this high

-speed

driving, return to the cold inflation pressure shown

on the Tire

-Loading Information label.

Example:

You’ll find maximum load and inflation pressure

molded on the tire’s sidewall, in small letters, near the

rim flange. It will read something like this: Maximum

load 690 kg (1521 lbs.) @ 300 kPa (44 psi) Max. Press.

For this example, you would set the inflation pressure

for high

-speed driving at 38 psi (265 kPa).
