flap, which automatically locks shut.

Incorrect replacement of the fuel filler cap 
may result in the check engine warning

Ultra high performance tires

E92076

CAUTION

Ultra high performance tires.

This vehicle is equipped with an 

Ultra High Performance (UHP) tire and 
wheel combination designed to give 
maximum dry road performance with 
consideration for aquaplaning 
resistance. UHP tires have performance 
enhancing soft rubber tread compound. 
If driven aggressively they may suffer 
rapid tread wear and a shorter life than 
can be expected from other tyre types. 
This wheel and tire combination is more 
susceptible to damage from road 
hazards.

Do not use this combination for driving 
on snow or ice. High perfromance tires 
must be replaced with winter tires when 
weather conditions dictate.

CAUTION

Tires with an all season icon have a 
level of winter performance and 
need not be replaced.

Tire pressures

Tire pressure label USA only

The recommended tire pressures for all 
normal operating conditions, are shown 
on a label fixed to the pillar behind the 
driver’s door.

Tire pressure label Canada and Mexico 
only

The recommended tire pressures for all 
normal operating conditions, are shown 
on a label fixed to the end of the driver’s 
door.

For your convenience you may wish to 
record the tyre pressures in the boxes

Tire pressure monitoring system

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System 
(TPMS) monitors the pressures of the 
tires, providing a warning of low tire 
pressure. See TIRE PRESSURE 
MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) 
(page 238).

If a warning appears one, or more, of your 
tires are significantly under-inflated. You 
should stop and check your tire 
pressures as soon as possible. They 
should be inflated to the recommended 
pressure. If warnings appear repeatedly, 
the cause must be investigated and 
rectified.

Check pressures when the tires are cold. 
Deflating a warm tire to the 
recommended cold inflation pressure, 
will result in dangerous under-inflation.
