Inflation -- Tire Pressure
NOTICE: (Continued)
The Certification/Tire label, which is on the driver’s
door door edge, above the door latch, shows the correct
inflation pressures for your tires when they’re cold.
“Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for at least
three hours or driven no more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
If your tires have too much air (overinflation),
you can get the following:
Unusual wear
Bad handling
Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.
NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or
overinflation is all right. It’s not. If your tires
don’t have enough air (underinflation), you can
get the following:
When to Check
Check your tires once a month or more. Also, check the
tire pressure of the spare tire.
Too much flexing
Too much heat
Tire overloading
Bad wear
If you have a compact spare tire, it should be at
60 psi (420 kPa).
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. You can’t tell if your tires are properly inflated
simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they’re underinflated.
Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
NOTICE: (Continued)
Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems.
They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.

Glad I did not have to pay for manual
So, another good reason to keep on top of pressures. Since an average dealership sale lasts a mere 5 days, it’s imperative that a
dealership’s direct mail gets into consumers’ homes as quickly as possible.
I typically come up with some fairly wild ideas for my cars and Troy by no means says no.
