Tire care and maintenance

Regularly check your tire inflation pressure

at least once a month. For more informa-

tion on checking tire inflation pressure see

“Recommended tire inflation pressure”

(

컄 page 345).

Tire inspection

Every time you check your tire inflation

pressure, you should also inspect your

tires for the following:

앫 excessive treadwear (컄 page 337)

앫 cord or fabric showing through the

tire’s rubber

앫 bumps, bulges, cuts, cracks or splits in

the tread or side of the tire

Replace the tire if you find any of the above

conditions.

Make sure you also inspect the spare tire

periodically for condition and inflation.

Spare tires will age and become worn over

time even if never used, and thus should be

inspected and replaced when necessary.

Life of tire

The service life of a tire is dependent upon

varying factors including but not limited to:

앫 Driving style

앫 Tire inflation pressure

앫 Distance driven

Warning! G

Regularly check the tires for damage. Dam-

aged tires can cause tire inflation pressure

loss. As a result, you could lose control of

your vehicle.

Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the

tire tread is badly worn, or if the tires have

sustained damage, replace them.

Warning! G

Tires and spare tire should be replaced after

six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
