WARNING!

Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can

damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering prob-
lems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
Overinflated or under inflated tires can affect
vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in
loss of vehicle control.

Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom-
mended pressure.
