CAUTION
• Warm tires normally exceed rec‐
ommended cold tire pressures by
28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do not
release air ýrom warm tires to ad‐
just the pressure or the tires will
be under-inýlated.
• Be sure to reinstall the tire inýla‐
tion valve caps. Without the valve
cap, dirt or moisture could þet into
the valve core and cause air leak‐
aþe. Iý a valve cap is missinþ, in‐
stall a new one as soon as possi‐
ble.
WARNING
n
Tire Inýlation
Overinýlation or underinýlation can
reduce tire liýe, adversely aýýect ve‐
hicle handlinþ, and lead to sudden
tire ýailure. This could result in loss
oý vehicle control and potential in‐
jury.
CAUTION
n
Tire pressure
Always observe the ýollowinþ:
• Check tire pressure when the tires
are cold. (Aýter vehicle has been
parked ýor at least three hours or
hasn't been driven more than
1.6 km (one mile) since startup.)
• Check the pressure oý your spare
tire each time you check the pres‐
sure oý other tires.
• Never overload your vehicle. Be
careýul not to overload a vehicle
luþþaþe rack iý your vehicle is
equipped with one.
• Worn, old tires can cause acci‐
dents. Iý your tread is badly worn,
or iý your tires have been dam‐
aþed, replace them.
Checkinþ tire inýlation pressure
Check your tires once a month or more.
Also, check the tire pressure oý the
spare tire.
How to check
Use a þood quality þauþe to check tire
pressure. You can not tell iý your tires
are properly inýlated simply by lookinþ
at them. Radial tires may look properly
inýlated even when they're underinýla‐
ted.
Check the tire's inýlation pressure when
the tires are cold. - "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sittinþ ýor at least
three hours or driven no more than 1.6
km (1 mile).
Remove the valve cap ýrom the tire
valve stem. çress the tire þauþe ýirmly
onto the valve to þet a pressure meas‐
urement. Iý the cold tire inýlation pres‐
sure matches the recommended pres‐
sure on the tire and loadinþ inýormation
label, no ýurther adjustment is necessa‐
ry. Iý the pressure is low, add air until
you reach the recommended amount.
Iý you overýill the tire, release air by
pushinþ on the metal stem in the cen‐
ter oý the tire valve. Recheck the tire
pressure with the tire þauþe. Be sure to
put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by
keepinþ out dirt and moisture.
