WHEEL & TIRE SPECIFICATIONS
Tire specifications are imprinted on the tire side wall. The recommended cold tire inflation pressures are listed on a label attached to the left center pillar.
| CAUTION | All 4 tires on vehicle must be of the same size, construction and load range. DO NOT mix tires of different design such as radial with bias or belted bias tires. Mixing tire types will adversely affect road handling and may lead to loss of vehicle control. To prevent vehicle and tire damage, DO NOT use tire chains on the T-type compact spare tire. |
BATTERY SPECIFICATIONS
| CAUTION | When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped with computers may lose memory data. When battery power is restored, driveability problems may exist on some vehicles. These vehicles may require a relearn procedure. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in the GENERAL INFORMATION section. |
It is advisable to check battery fluid periodically. Use only distilled water to fill battery cell to the upper mark on battery case should it becomes necessary.
If battery is replaced, it should be of the same group number as shown on the original battery's label.
