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 Tire and Loading Infor-
mation placard on the driver’s door 
B-pillar.

Keeping the tires properly inflated 
provides the best handling, tread life and 
riding comfort. 

In addition to the tire Tire and Loading 
Information placard on the driver’s door 
B-pillar, also consult the tire inflation 
pressure label (if available) on the fuel filler 
flap (

page 322) for any additional infor-

mation pertaining to special driving situa-
tions. For more information, see 
“Important notes on tire inflation

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.

Do not overload the tires by exceeding the 

specified load limit or total load limit as indi-

cated on the Tire and Loading Information 

placard on the driver’s door B-pillar. Over-

loading the tires can overheat them, possi-

bly causing a blowout. Overloading the tires 

can also result in handling or steering prob-

lems, or brake failure.
