WARNING

Using Different Tire Types:

Driving your vehicle with different types of

tires is dangerous. It could cause poor

handling and poor braking; leading to loss

of control.

wheels.

Using Wrong-Sized Tires:

Using any other tire size than what is

specified for the vehicle (page 9-7) is

dangerous. It could seriously affect ride,

handling, ground clearance, tire clearance,

and speedometer calibration. This could

cause you to have an accident. Use only

tires that are the correct size specified for

the vehicle.

▼ Tire Inflation Pressure

WARNING

Always inflate the tires to the correct

pressure:

Overinflation or underinflation of tires is

dangerous. Adverse handling or

unexpected tire failure could result in a

serious accident.

and that they must take extreme caution

when near it.

Depress the hazard warning flasher and all

the turn signals will flash. The hazard

warning indicator lights in the instrument

cluster flash simultaneously.

NOTE

^ The turn signals do not work when the

hazard warning lights are on.

hazard warning lights while the vehicle

is being towed to verify that it is not in

violation of the law.
