\3 Tire inflation pressureObserve the information on recom-
mended tire inflation pressure in the
“Operation” section (
\2
page 361).
The following table lists the recommen-
ded cold tire inflation pressures for all
load conditions up to the maximum per-
missible weight limits (GAWR). The tire
inflation pressures listed apply to the ti-
res installed as original equipment.
iIn addition to the following table the
recommended cold tire inflation
pressures are listed on a placard lo-
cated on the driver’s door B-pillar
(\2
page 354).
Warning
G
Follow recommended tire inflation pres-
sures.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated
tires wear excessively and/or unevenly,
adversely affect handling and fuel econo-
my, and are more likely to fail from being
overheated.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires
can adversely affect handling and ride
comfort, wear unevenly, increase stop-
ping distance, and result in sudden defla-
tion (blowout) because they are more
likely to become punctured or damaged
by road debris, potholes etc.
