.

Underinflated tires pose
the same danger as
overloaded tires. The
resulting crash could
cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently
to maintain the
recommended pressure.
Tire pressure should be
checked when the tires
are cold.

.

Overinflated tires are more
likely to be cut, punctured,
or broken by a sudden
impact

such as when

hitting a pothole. Keep
tires at the recommended
pressure.

WARNING (Continued)

.

Worn or old tires can
cause a crash. If the tread
is badly worn,
replace them.

.

Replace any tires that
have been damaged by
impacts with potholes,
curbs, etc.

.

Improperly repaired tires
can cause a crash. Only
the dealer or an
authorized tire service
center should repair,
replace, dismount, and
mount the tires.

.

Do not spin the tires in
excess of 56 km/h
(35 mph) on slippery
surfaces such as snow,
mud, ice, etc. Excessive
spinning may cause the
tires to explode.
