good quality tire pressure gauge to
measure the tire's inflation pressure.
Please note that a tire that is hot (from
being driven) will have a higher pres-

cold (from sitting stationary for at least
3 hours and driven less than 1 mile

pressure.
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will turn on. Have the

pressure tire. If used, you will have to
replace the tire pressure sensor.
