• Check tire pressure when the
tires are cold. (After vehicle
has been parked for at least
three hours or hasn't been

How to check
Use a good quality gage to check tire
pressure.You can not tell if your tires
are properly inflated simply by look-

properly inflated even when they're
underinflated.
Check the tire's inflation pressure
when the tires are cold. - "Cold"
means your vehicle has been sitting
for at least three hours or driven no
more than 1.6 km (1 mile).
