| Check Tire Pressure Soon |
* Canada only:
The tire pressure loss warning system has detected a significant loss in
pressure.
| WARNING Risk of an accident due to insufficient tire
pressure |
Tire pressures that are too low pose the following hazards:
- The tires may burst, especially as the load and vehicle
speed increase.
- The tires may wear excessively and/or unevenly, which
may greatly impair tire traction.
- The driving characteristics, as well as steering and
braking, may be greatly impaired.
You could then lose control of the vehicle.
- Observe the recommended tire pressure.
- Adjust the tire pressure if necessary.
|
- Stop the vehicle, paying attention to road and traffic
conditions.
- Check the tire pressure and the tires.
- When the tire pressure is correct, restart the tire pressure
loss warning system
