Check Tire Pressure Soon*Canada only:
The tire pressure losswarning system has detected a significant loss in pressure.
\nWARNINGRisk of an accident duetoinsufficient tire pressure
Tirepressuresthat aretoo low posethefollowing hazards:
RThe tires may burst, especially asthe load andvehicle speed increase.
RThe tires maywearexcessively and/or unevenly,which may greatly impair tire traction.
RThe drivingcharacteristics, aswell assteering and braking, may be greatly impaired.
You couldthen lose control ofthevehicle.
Observetherecommended tire pressure.
Adjustthe tire pressure if necessary.
Stopthevehicle, paying attentiontoroad and traffic conditions.
Checkthe tire pressure (page 392) andthe tires.
Whenthe tire pressure is correct,restartthe tire pressure losswarning system (page 398).
