Tire economy and tips

Check tire pressure monthly when
tires are cold, use a digital tire
pressure gauge for accurate tire
pressure measurement.
Tires should be of the same 
type and size.
Maintain correct front-end alignment
and tire balance; rotate tires at
5,000 or 7,500 mile intervals; see
Owner’s Manual for rotation chart.

Tire pressure 

Decal on Driver’s B-pillar provides 
tire pressure information.

Tire chains*

†

Use only SAE Class “S” chains;
install on front tires as tightly 
as possible and re-tighten 
periodically; do not use chains 
on dry roads, aluminum wheels,
or with tire pressure monitor 
system, damage may occur, 
use on steel wheels only.

Anti-lock Braking 
System (ABS)

ABS automatically reduces
hydraulic pressure to any wheel
on the verge of locking up.
You may feel a slight pulsing of
the brake pedal and hear a 
clicking noise; this tells you the
ABS is functioning properly;
increase pressure on pedal for
maximum braking. 

Tips: Maintain constant 
pressure on the brake pedal.
Do not pump the brakes.

ABS self test

A self-diagnostic test is performed
when starting; you may feel some
brake pedal pulsation and hear
some noise, this is normal.
