STARTING AND OPERATING
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stoppingability.
CAUTION!
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al-
waysreinstallthevalvestemcap.Thiswillprevent
moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem,
which could damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring

Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
