Potential problems associated with
underinflated and overinflated tires
Underinflated tire inflation pressure
Underinflated tires can:
ț cause excessive and uneven tire wear
ț adversely affect fuel economy
ț lead to tire failure from being
overheated
ț adversely affect handling
characteristics
i
If transporting a deflated road wheel or
additional wheel sensors in the vehicle,
the tire inflation pressure monitor
should not be reactivated until the de-
flated wheel or additional wheel sen-
sors have been removed from the
vehicle. Otherwise the deflated wheel
or additional sensors could confuse the
tire inflation pressure monitor system
and cause it to malfunction.
Warning!

Follow recommended tire inflation
pressures.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires
wear excessively and/or unevenly,
adversely affect handling and fuel economy,
and are more likely to fail from being
overheated.
