## driving tip 

Check tire inflation when the tires are cold. Refer to the owner’s manual or the sticker on the driver’s door for the proper inflation level. Do not use the numbers on the side of the tire. 

Properly inflated tires help keep you safe by increasing your vehicle’s traction.

❏ Are the wipers in good condition? 

❏ Do you have enough fuel?

## Tire tips 

Tires are key pieces of safety equipment, so remember to: 

• Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressure level. 

• Check that the tread isn’t too worn. 

• Replace any tires that show bumps, bulges, cuts, cracks or exposed belts. 

• Use only tires that match the specifications for your vehicle. 

• Make sure all four tires are similar so they work together. 

• Keep the spare tire at the required air pressure. A space‑saver spare tire has the correct air pressure marked on its side. When you use this type of spare tire, never drive faster than 80 km/h. 

• Rotate tires regularly for even wear. 

• Avoid sudden starts and stops — they reduce the life of your tires.
