If your vehicle is not equipped with a compact spare tire, a Tire Mobility Kit will be  
provided with your vehicle.  
NOTICE  
śꢀ It is permissible to add 3 psi to the standard tire pressure specification if colder  
temperatures are expected soon.  
Tires typically lose 1psi (7kPa) for every 12°F temperature drop. If extreme  
temperature variations are expected, recheck your tire pressure as necessary to  
keep them properly inflated.  
śꢀ Tire inflation pressures will vary with changes in elevation. If driving in areas of  
higher or lower elevation, be sure to check and adjust for proper tire inflation.  
CAUTION  
śꢀ When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.  
Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or not work properly.  
śꢀ When replacing tires, ALWAYS use the same size, type, construction and tread  
pattern supplied with the vehicle for all tires.

Vehicle Information, Consumer Information and Reporting Safety Defects  
Recommended SAE viscosity number  
CAUTION  
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before  
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy  
areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick  
areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that  
could be damaged.  
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather  
operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can  
provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity  
engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any  
viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.  
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated  
in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from  
the chart.
