RECOMMENDED
TIRE INFLATION
PRESSURE
On the tire label you will find the
recommended tire inflation pressure in
both psi and kPa for the tires installed
as original equipment on the vehicle.
It is very important that the inflation
pressure of the tires on your vehicle is
maintained at the recommended
pressure.
You should check the tire pressure
regularly to insure that the proper
inflation pressure is maintained.
Note:
Tire pressures listed on the vehicle
placard or tire information label indicate
the recommended cold tire inflation
pressure, measured when the tires are
cold, after the vehicle has been parked
for at least three hours. As you drive,
the temperature in the tire warms up,
increasing the tire pressure.
Always check the tire inflation
pressures on a regular basis according
to the recommended tire inflation
pressure on the tire label and in
conjunction with the information in this
Owner's Manual. Driving your vehicle
with under-inflated tires is dangerous.
Under-inflation is the most common
cause of failures in any kind of tire and
may result in severe cracking, tread
separation or “blowout”, with
unexpected loss of vehicle control and
increased risk of injury. Under-inflation
increases sidewall flexing and rolling
resistance, resulting in heat buildup
and internal damage to the tire. It
results in unnecessary tire stress,
irregular wear, loss of control and
accidents. A tire can lose up to half of
its air pressure and not appear to be
flat. It is impossible to determine
whether or not tires are properly
inflated just by looking at them.

FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Fluids And Lubricants
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil that has been thoroughly developed and tested in order to meet the requirements of
the Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Constant use of the prescribed lubricants guarantees the fuel consumption and emission specifications. Lubricant quality is
crucial for engine operation and duration.

Caution!
Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in
engine damage and may decrease corrosion protection. Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant is different and should not be
mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze) or any “globally compatible” coolant (antifreeze). If a
non-OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency, the cooling system will need to be drained,
flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming to MS.90032), by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) products. Do not use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as
they may not be compatible with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.
This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze). Use of propylene glycol-based engine
coolant (antifreeze) is not recommended.
