Recommended tire inflation pressure
Your vehicle is equipped with the Tire and 
Loading Information placard located on 
the driver’s door B-pillar (
The tire inflation pressure should be 
checked regularly and should only be ad-
justed on cold tires. The tires can be con-
sidered cold if the vehicle has been parked 
for at least 3 hours or driven less than 
1 mile (1.6 km). 
Follow recommended cold tire inflation 
pressures listed on placard.
Keeping the tires properly inflated 
provides the best handling, tread life and 
riding comfort. 
In addition to the tire placard on the 
driver’s door B-pillar, also consult the fuel 
filler flap for any additional information 
pertaining to special driving situations. For 
more information, see “Important notes on

with recommended cold tire inflation 
pressures
The Tire and Loading Information placard 
lists the recommended cold tire inflation 
pressures for maximum loaded vehicle 
weight. The tire inflation pressures listed 
apply to the tires installed as original 
equipment.
Warning!
G
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 over-
heated.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires 
can adversely affect handling and ride 
comfort, wear unevenly, increase stopping 
distance, and result in sudden deflation 
(blowout) because they are more likely to 
become punctured or damaged by road 
debris, potholes etc.
