Tires, Wheels and Loading
How temperature affects your tire  pressure
The Tire  Pressure  Monitoring  System  (TPMS)  monitors  tire pressure   in
each  pneumatic  tire.  The pressure   in each  tire  is dependent   upon  several
factors,  one of  them being  the  contained  air  temperature   (temperature   of
the  air inside  the tire) .  As the  contained  air temperature    increases,  the
tire  pressure  also increases.   While driving  in a normal  manner,  a typical
passenger  tire  inflation  pressure  may  increase  approximately  2  to 4 psi
(
14 to  28 kPa)  from a cold  start  situation.  This  increase  in tire  pressure
is due  to an  increase  in the  contained  air  temperature.   Contained  air
temperature   is dependent   upon  several  factors  such as  rate  of tire
rotation,  tire  deflection,  amount  of braking,  etc.  In a similar  manner,  the
tire  pressure  will decrease   if the contained   air temperature   decreases.
For example,  if  the vehicle  is stationary   over night  with the  outside
temperature   significantly  lower than  the  daytime  temperature,   the  tire
pressure  may  decrease  approximately   3 psi (20.7  kPa)  for a  drop of 30°
F (16.6°  C) in  ambient  temperature.   This lower  pressure  value  may be
detected   by the  TPMS as being  significantly lower  than  the  cold pressure
indicated  on  your vehicles  Safety Compliance  Certification   Label, and
activate  the  TPMS warning  for low tire  pressure.  If the  low tire  pressure
warning  light is ON, visually  check  each tire  to verify  that  no tire  is flat.
If one  or more  tires are  flat, repair  as  necessary.  Check  air pressure  in
the  road tires.  If any  tire is  underinflated,  carefully  drive  the  vehicle to
the  nearest  location  where  air can  be added  to  the tires.  Turn  the
ignition  to the  OFF position.  Inflate  all the  tires to  the  recommended
inflation  pressure.
The Tire  Pressure  Monitoring  System  is NOT a substitute   for
manually  checking  tire pressure.   The tire  pressure   should be
checked  periodically  (at  least  monthly)  using an  accurate  tire  gauge,
see  Inflatin g  you r tir es in  this chapter.  Failure  to  properly  maintain
your tire  pressure   could increase  the  risk  of tire failure,  loss  of control,
vehicle  rollover and  personal  injury.
USING SNOW TIRES AND  TRACTION DEVICES
Snow tires  must  be the  same  size and  grade  as the  tires  you
currently  have  on your  vehicle.
The tires  on  your vehicle  have all-weather   treads  to provide  traction  in
rain and  snow. However,  in some  climates,  using snow  tires  or traction
devices  may be  necessary.
