WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a sub-
stitute for regular tire checks, including tire
pressure checks. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Changing wheels and tires” in
the “Do-it-yourself” section of this manual.
Many factors including tire inflation, align-
ment, driving habits and road conditions
affect tire wear and when tires should be
replaced. Setting the tire replacement indi-
cator for a certain driving distance does notmean your tires will last that long. Use the
tire replacement indicator as a guide only
and always perform regular tire checks.
Failure to perform regular tire checks, in-
cluding tire pressure checks could result in
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could
occur and may lead to a collision, which
could result in serious personal injury or
death.
