TIRE SPECIFICATIONS
Tire specifications are imprinted on the tire sidewall. When using snow tires, they must be mounted on all four wheels for safety and maneuverability. Ordinary snow chains (avoid clamp-on types) may be used on both front and rear wheels. Compact spare tires are intended for temporary use only. They are limited to 50 MPH (80 km/h) and must be inflated to 60 psi (4.2 Kg/cm 2 ).
| CAUTION | DO NOT mix tires of different design such as radial with bias or bias-belted tires, etc. Mixing tire types will adversely affect road handling and may lead to loss of vehicle control. |

Battery is located in the engine compartment. The electrolyte level in battery should be checked regularly to ensure adequate fluid level. Use only distilled water to fill battery cell should it become necessary to add water to battery. Battery charge condition should also be checked frequently. This is especially important in low temperature areas. For vehicles equipped with maintenance-free battery, the electrolyte level does not require checking and water need never be added.
