TIRE PRESSURES
•Check the inflation pressure of each tire, at least monthly and inflate to the recom-
mended pressure for your vehicle.
•The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading
Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD
for more information regarding tire warn-
ings and instructions.
WARNING!
•Overloading of your tires is dangerous.Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance.Use tires of the recom-
mended load capacity for your vehicle.Never overload them.
•Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions.Under-inflation is
the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component
separation, or “blow out”.Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock.
Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems.You could lose control of your
vehicle.Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.

WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
•All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should be
cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
•To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use a wheel cleaner or equivalent
or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes.Do not use
oven cleaner.These products may damage the wheel's protective finish.Avoid automatic
car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the wheel's pro-
tective finish.
