possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure as indicated on the tire and loading information placard. Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinfla- tion also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and set to the recommended inflation 4 pressure as specified in the tire and loading information placard and owner’s manual.

NOTE: If one of the vehicle active tires has been replaced by the spare or a wheel rim not equipped with a TPM sensor, the tire pressure monitor warning light will flash for approximately three seconds every 10 minutes. Repair or replace the tire or sensor as soon as possible.
