DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED

Tire pressure - Speeds greater than 100
mph (160 km/h)

WARNING

To reduce the risk of potential tire
failure that could lead to serious
injury or death, increase the front and

rear tire placard pressures by the amount
shown on the warning label, located on
either the driver side B-pillar or door, when
driving over 100 mph (160 km/h). Only
travel at speeds over 100 mph (160 km/h)
where it is legal and conditions allow. The
tire placard pressure can be found on the
tire placard located on either the driver side
B-pillar or door of your vehicle.

E176077

Warning: Failure to follow these
instructions can result in a loss
of vehicle stability due to tire

failure that could lead to serious injury or
death. If you are not sure about the proper
tire inflation pressures, contact an
authorized dealer or service center.

E184089

Your tires may require additional inflation
pressure for operation at speeds greater
than 100 mph (160 km/h). If this label is
present on your vehicle, you must adjust
the tire pressure accordingly.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications

WARNING

When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials
present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub,
brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners

that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting
surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the
wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off
while your vehicle is in motion, resulting in a loss of control.
