Tyres and wheels

Tyre failure may cause loss of vehicle control resulting in an accident. To reduce risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, take the following precautions:

  • Inspect your tyres monthly for proper inflation as well as wear and damage.

  • The recommended cold tyre pressure for your vehicle can be found in this manual and on the tyre label located on the driver’s side centre pillar. Always use a tyre pressure gauge to measure tyre pressure. Tyres with too much or too little pressure wear unevenly causing poor handling.

  • Check the pressure of the spare every time you check the pressure of the other tyres on your vehicle.

  • Replace tyres that are worn, show uneven wear, or are damaged. Worn tyres can cause loss of braking effectiveness, steering control, or traction.

  • ALWAYS replace tyres with the same size, type, construction and tread pattern of tyre that was originally supplied with this vehicle. Using tyres and wheels other than the recommended sizes could cause unusual handling characteristics, poor vehicle control, or negatively affect your vehicle’s Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) resulting in a serious accident.
