CAUTION!

• When installing the IPM cover, it is important to ensure the cover is properly

positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow water to get into the
IPM, and possibly result in an electrical system failure.

• When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct

amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result
in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a properly rated fuse continues to
blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit that must be corrected.

TIRE PRESSURES

Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire (if equipped), at
least monthly and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.

The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading
Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.

NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD
for more information regarding tire warn-
ings and instructions.

WARNING!

• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure,

affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.

• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-

inflation increases tire flexing and can result in over-heating and tire failure.
Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and
chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire
pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
Over-inflated 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 recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
