WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, includ-
ing tire pressure checks. For additional
information, refer to “Changing wheels
and tires” in the “Do-it-yourself ” section
of this manual. Many factors including
tire inflation, alignment, driving habits
and road conditions affect tire wear and
when tires should be replaced. Setting
the tire replacement indicator for a cer-
tain driving distance does not mean your
tires will last that long. Use the tire re-
placement indicator as a guide only and
always perform regular tire checks. Fail-
ure 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 in-
jury or death.
