Distraction comes in many forms
and can take your focus from the
task of driving. Exercise good
judgment and do not let other
activities divert your attention away
from the road. Many local
governments have enacted laws
regarding driver distraction. Become
familiar with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving, always
keep your eyes on the road, hands
on the wheel, and mind on the drive.
.Do not use a phone in
demanding driving situations.
Use a hands-free method to
place or receive necessary
phone calls.
.Watch the road. Do not read,
take notes, or look up
information on phones or other
electronic devices.
.Designate a front seat
passenger to handle potential
distractions.
.Become familiar with vehicle
features before driving, such as
programming favorite radio
stations and adjusting climate
control and seat settings.
Program all trip information into
any navigation device prior to
driving.

to children.
.Keep pets in an appropriate
carrier or restraint.
.Avoid stressful conversations
while driving, whether with a
passenger or on a cell phone.

When the engine is on or the
vehicle is in accessory power mode,
it is recommended that a manual
transmission be placed in

10-62 Vehicle Care
Tire Pressure for
High-Speed Operation
{WARNING
Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h
(100 mph) or higher, puts an
additional strain on tires.
Sustained high-speed driving
causes excessive heat buildup
and can cause sudden tire failure.
You could have a crash and you
or others could be killed. Some
high-speed rated tires require
inflation pressure adjustment for
high-speed operation. When
speed limits and road conditions
are such that a vehicle can be
driven at high speeds, make sure
the tires are rated for high-speed
operation, in excellent condition,
and set to the correct cold tire
inflation pressure for the
vehicle load.The tires require inflation pressure
adjustment when driving the vehicle
at speeds of 282 km/h (175 mph) or
higher, where it is legal. Set the cold
inflation pressure to the maximum
inflation pressure shown on the tire
sidewall, or 265 kPa (38 psi),
whichever is lower. See the
example following. Return the tires
to the recommended cold tire
inflation pressure when high-speed
driving has ended. See
Vehicle
Load Limits on page 9‑12.
Example:
The maximum load and inflation
pressure molded on the tire
sidewall, in small letters, near the
rim flange. It will read something like
this: Maximum load
690 kg (1521 lbs) 300 kPa (44 psi)
Max. Press.
For this example, set the inflation
pressure for high‐speed driving at
265 kPa (38 psi). Racing or other competitive driving
may affect the warranty coverage of
the vehicle. See the warranty
booklet for more information.Tire Pressure Monitor
System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) uses radio and sensor
technology to check tire pressure
levels. The TPMS sensors monitor
the air pressure in your tires and
transmit tire pressure readings to a
receiver located in the vehicle.
Each tire, including the spare
(if provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
