MAINTENANCE
Tires
Operating your vehicle with worn tires will increase the possibility of skidding,
loss of control and an accident, which could result in serious injury or death.
Always replace tires when the tread depth measures 1/8" (3 mm) or less.
Improper tire inflation or the use of non-standard size or type of tires may
adversely affect vehicle handling, which could result in vehicle damage or
personal injury. Always maintain proper tire pressure. When replacing tires,
always use original equipment size and type.
Tire Tread Depth
Always replace tires
when tread depth is
worn to 1/8" (3 mm)

ponent operations. All service must be performed by your authorized
