Tires, Wheels and Loading
is located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. The cold
inflation pressure should never be set lower than the recommended
pressure on the Safety Compliance Certification Label.
When weather temperature changes occur, tire inflation pressures also
change. A 10° F (6° C) temperature drop can cause a corresponding
drop of 1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure. Check your tire pressures
frequently and adjust them to the proper pressure which can be found
on the Safety Compliance Certification Label.
If you are checking tire pressure when the tire is hot, (i.e. driven more
than 1 mile [1.6 km]), never “bleed” or reduce air pressure. The tires are
hot from driving and it is normal for pressures to increase above
recommended cold pressures. A hot tire at or below recommended cold
inflation pressure could be significantly under-inflated.
To check the pressure in your tire( s):
1.
Make sure the tires are cool, meaning they are not hot from driving
even a mile.
Not e: If you have to drive a distance to get air for your tire( s), check
and record the tire pressure first and add the appropriate air pressure
when you get to the pump. It is normal for tires to heat up and the air
pressure inside to go up as you drive. Never “bleed” or reduce air
pressure when tires are hot.
2.
Remove the cap from the valve on one tire, then firmly press the tire
gauge onto the valve and measure the pressure with the tire gauge.
3.
Add enough air to reach the recommended air pressure.
Not e: 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.
4.
5.
Replace the valve cap.
Repeat this procedure for each tire, including the spare.
Not e: Some spare tires require higher inflation pressure than the other
tires. Check the Tire Label on the B pillar or the edge of the driver’s
door for the recommended spare tire pressure.
6.
objects embedded that could poke a hole in the tire and cause an air
leak.
Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other
7.
Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts or bulges.
