WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, in-

tional information, see “Changing
wheels and tires” (P. 8-36). Many factors
including tire inflation, alignment, driv-
ing habits and road conditions affect
tire wear and when tires should be re-
placed. Setting the tire replacement in-
dicator for a certain driving distance
does not mean 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, including tire pres-
sure 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.
