It is important to fami
liarize yourself with the
following terms:  Cold tire pressure: • The measured pressure after the vehiclehas been parked for at least three hours, or • The measured pressure when the vehicleis driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after having been parked for three hours.
 Maximum inflation pressure: the maxi- mum permissible cold tire inflation pres- sure for this tire.
 Recommended inflation pressure: the inflation pressure for optimum tire perfor- mance.  Intended outboard sidewall: • The sidewall that contains a whitewall, bears white lettering or bears manufac- turer, brand, and/or model name moldingthat is higher or deeper than the same molding on the other sidewall of the tire, or• The outward facing sidewall of an asym-metrical tire that has a particular side that must always face outward when mounted on a vehicle.
 Passenger car tire: a tire intended for use on passenger cars, multipurpose passen- ger vehicles, and trucks, that have a grossvehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 pounds or less.  Light truck (LT) tire: a tire designated by its manufacturer as primarily intended for use on lightweight trucks or multipurpose passenger vehicles. Tread: portion of a tire that comes into contact with the road.  Tread rib: a tread section running circum- ferentially around a tire.  Tread separation: pulling away of the tread from the tire carcass. Carcass: the tire structure, except tread and sidewall rubber which, when inflated, bears the load.
 Battery terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling. NOTE
 Check each battery terminal for corrosion. You can stop more corrosion by washing with a solution of baking soda and water.Grease the posts and clamps after cleaning or tightening them.  Check to see that the battery is securely installed and cannot be moved. Also check each terminal for tightness.  If you will not be driving your vehicle for a long period of time, remove the battery andstore it in a place where the battery fluid will not freeze. Memory data for settings made by the user may be erased when the battery isremoved. If this happens, reset the settings again using the relevant procedures. The bat- tery only should be stored with a full charge.  Before cleaning the battery, tighten all the filler port caps to keep dirt and moisture out.WA R N I N G
Tires
WA R N I N G Driving with tires that are worn, damaged or improperly inflated is dangerous. These type tire conditions will adversely affect vehicle performance.These type tire conditions can also cause a tread separation or blowout which may result in an accident causing seriousinjury or death. Tires, including spare tire, degrade over time with age even when they are not being used. It is recommended that tires over 6 years generally be replaced even ifdamage is not obvious.
