STARTING AND OPERATING
273
Example: If garage tem peratu re = 68° F (20° C) and the
outsid e tem peratu re = 32° F (0° C) then the cold tire
inflation pressu re shou ld be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equ als 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12° F (7° C) for this
outsid e tem peratu re cond ition.
CAUTIO N!
After inspectin g or adjustin g the tire pressu re, al-
ways rein stall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This
will preven t moistu re and dirt from enterin g the
valve stem , which could damage the valve stem .
Tire pressu re may increase from 2 to 6 psi (13 to 40 kPa)
during operation. DO NOT red uce this norm al pressu re
build up or you r tire pressu re will be too low.
Inflation pressu res specified on the placard are alw ays
“cold tire inflation pressu re.” Cold tire inflation pressu re
is defined as the tire pressu re after the vehicle has not
been driven for at least 3 hou rs, or driven less than 1 mile
km) after a 3 hou r period . The cold tire inflation
pressu re must not exceed the maxim um inflation pres-
sure molded into the tire sidewall.

Tire Pressu res for High Speed Operation
The manu factu rer advocates driving at safe speed s
within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or cond i-
tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high
speed s, maintaining correct tire inflation pressu re is very
important. Increased tire pressu re and red uced vehicle
load ing may be requ ired for high-sp eed vehicle opera-
tion. Refer to original equ ipment or an authorized tire
dealer for recom mend ed safe operating speed s, load ing
and cold tire inflation pressu res.

Check tire pressu res more often if subject to a wide range
of outdoor tem peratu res, as tire pressu res vary with
tem peratu re changes.
Tire pressu res change by approxim ately 1 psi (7 kPa) per
12°
F (7° C) of air tem peratu re change. Keep this in mind
when checking tire pressu re insid e a garage, especially in
the winter.
