CAUTION
When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or make them work irregularly.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• It is permissible to add 3 psi (21 kPa) to the standard tire pressure specification if colder temperatures are expect-
ed soon.
Tires typically loose 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (-11°C) temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations are
expected, re-check your tire pressure as necessary to keep them properly inflated.
• We recommend that when replacing tires, use the same originally supplied with the vehicles. If not, that affects
driving performance.
• When driving in high altitude grades, it is natural for the atmospheric pressure to decrease. Therefore, please
check the tire pressure and add more air when necessary.
Additionally required tire air pressure per km above sea level: 1.5 psi (10.5 kPa)/km
• Speeds above 100 mph (160 km/h)
In order to drive at maximum speeds in excess of 100 mph (160 km/h), please observe, and, if necessary, adjust
tire pressures for speeds exceeding 100 mph (160 km/h) from the above table. Otherwise tire damage and acci-
dents could occur.

*1: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2: Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing
the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s
time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
*
3: If the ACEA A5/B5 engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API Latest, ILSAC Latest.
*4: Regardless of oil change intervals, replace oil immediately if Rear-Differential or Front-Differential is submerged.
*5: Be sure to inject oil for exclusive use of LSD when replacing Rear Differential (for LSD) Oil.

Recommended SAE viscosity
number
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an
effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity
engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather perform-
ance; however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfacto-
ry lubrication in hot weather. Using
oils of any viscosity other than those
recommended could result in engine
damage. When choosing an oil, con-
sider the range of temperature your
vehicle will be operated in before the
next oil change. Proceed to select the
recommended oil viscosity from the
chart.
An engine oil displaying this API Certification Mark con-
forms to the international Lubricant Specification Advisory
Committee (ILSAC). It is recommended to only use engine
oils that uphold this API Certification Mark.

*1: For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE 5W
30 (ACEA A5/B5). However, if the engine oil is not available in your country, select the proper
engine oil using the engine oil viscosity chart.
*
2 : For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE 0W
30 (API Latest (ILSAC Latest) or ACEA C2). However, if the engine oil is not available in your
country, select the proper engine oil using the engine oil viscosity chart.
