Maintenance
Checking tyre inflation pressure
Check your tyres once a month or more.
Also, check the tyre pressure of the
spare tyre.
How to check
Use a good quality gage to check tyre
pressure. You cannot tell if your tyres are
properly inflated simply by looking at
them. Radial tyres may look properly
inflated even when they're underinflated.
Check the tyre's inflation pressure when
the tyres are cold. - "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three
hours or driven no more than 1.6 km (1
mile).
WARNING - Tyre Inflation
Overinflation or underinflation can
reduce tyre life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to
sudden tyre failure. This could
result in loss of vehicle control and
potential injury.
CAUTION - Tyre pressure
Always observe the following:
• Check tyre pressure when the
tyres are cold. (After vehicle has
been parked for at least three
hours or hasn't been driven more
than 1.6 km (1 mile) since
startup.)
• Check the pressure of your spare
tyre each time you check the
pressure of other tyres.
• Never overload your vehicle. Be
careful not to overload a vehicle
luggage rack if your vehicle is
equipped with one.
• Worn, old tyres can cause
accidents. If your tread is badly
worn, or if your tyres have been
damaged, replace them.
CAUTION
• Warm tyres normally exceed
recommended cold tyre
pressures by 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6
psi). Do not release air from warm
tyres to adjust the pressure or the
tyres will be underinflated.
• Be sure to reinstall the tyre
inflation valve caps. Without the
valve cap, dirt or moisture could
get into the valve core and cause
air leakage. If a valve cap is
missing, install a new one as
soon as possible.
