Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
When you check the air pressure, make sure the tires are cold -
meaning they are not hot from driving even a mile.
Remove the cap from the valve on one tire.
Firmly press a tire gauge onto the valve.
Add air to achieve recommended air pressure.
If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in
the center of the valve. Then recheck the pressure with your tire
gauge.
Replace the valve cap.
Repeat with each tire, including the spare.
Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other
objects embedded that could poke a hole in the tire and cause an
air leak.
Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts,
bulges, cracks or other irregularities.
Some spare tires require higher inflation pressure.
WARNING
■ Always check the tire inflation pressures on a regular basis accord-
ing to the recommended tire inflation pressure on the tire label and
in conjunction with the information in this owner’s manual
Driving your vehicle with under-inflated tires is dangerous.
Under-inflation is the most common cause of failures in any kind of tire
and may result in severe cracking, tread separation or “blowout”, with
unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury. Under-
inflation increases sidewall flexing and rolling resistance, resulting in
heat buildup and internal damage to the tire. It results in unnecessary
tire stress, irregular wear, loss of control and accidents. A tire can lose
up to half of its air pressure and not appear to be flat!
It is impossible to determine whether or not tires are properly inflated
just by looking at them.
