SERVICING YOUR TIRES

Checking the tire pressure

• Use an accurate tire pressure gauge.
• Check the tire pressure when tires are cold, after the vehicle has been

parked for at least one hour or has been driven less than 5 km
(3 miles).

• Adjust tire pressure to recommended specifications found on the

Safety Compliance Certification Label located on the right rear door
jamb.

Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control.

Tire rotation

Because your vehicle’s tires perform different jobs, they often wear
differently. To make sure your tires wear evenly and last longer, rotate
them as indicated in the “Service Guide.” If you notice that the tires
wear unevenly, have them checked.
• Four tire rotation
