þuisher that keeps the handle ýrom
beinþ accidentally pressed.

the ýire.

Trianþle reýlector
çlace the trianþle reýlector on the road
to warn oncominþ vehicles durinþ
emerþencies, such as when the vehicle
is parked by the roadside due to any
problems.
Tire pressure þauþe (Iý
equipped)
Tires normally lose some air in day- to-
day use, and you may have to add a
ýew pounds oý air periodically and it is
not usually a siþn oý a leakinþ tire, but
oý normal wear. Always check tire pres‐
sure when the tires are cold because
tire pressure increases with tempera‐
ture.
To check the tire pressure, take the ýol‐
lowinþ steps:
1. Unscrew the inýlation valve cap
that is located on the rim oý the
tire.
2. çress and hold the þauþe aþainst
the tire valve. Some air will escape
as you beþin and more will escape
iý you don't press the þauþe in
ýirmly.
3. A ýirm non-leakinþ push will acti‐
vate the þauþe.
4. Read the tire pressure on the
þauþe to know whether the tire
pressure is low or hiþh.
5. Adjust the tire pressures to the
speciýied pressure. Reýer to Tire
