CAUTION
CAUTION - Tire pressure
Always observe the  following:
Warm  tires   normally   exceed
recommended  cold  tire  pres-
sures  by 28  to 41  kPa (4  to 6
psi).  Do  not  release  air  from
warm tires  to adjust  the pres-
sure or the tires  will be under-
inflated.
Be sure   to  reinstall   the  tire
inflation  valve   caps.  Without
the valve cap,  dirt or moisture
could  get  into the  valve  core
and   cause  air   leakage.   If  a
valve cap  is missing,  install a
new one assoon   as possible.
Check  your  tires  once  a  month  or
more.
Also, check  the  tire pressure  of  the
spare tire.
Check tire  pressure  when the
tires  are   cold.  (After  vehicle
has  been  parked  for  at  least
three   hours   or  hasn't   been
driven more  than  1.6 km (one
mile)sincestartup.)
Check  the   pressure   of  your
spare tire each time you check
the pressure of  other tires.
Never  overload  your  vehicle.
Be  careful  not  to  overload  a
vehicle  luggage   rack  if  your
vehicle is equipped  with one.
Worn, old tires can cause acci-
dents.  If  your  tread   is  badly
worn,   or  if   your   tires  have
been damaged, replace  them.

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-
ing  at  them.  Radial  tires  may  look
properly  inflated  even  when  they're
underinflated.
Check  the   tire's  inflation   pressure
when  the   tires   are  cold.  -   "Cold"  6
means your  vehicle has  been sitting
for at  least three  hours or  driven no

more than 1.6  km (1 mile).
Overinflation   or  underinflation
can  reduce   tire  life,  adversely
affect vehicle handling, and lead
tosudden  tire failure. This could
result in  loss  of vehicle  control
and potential  injury.
Remove  the valve  cap from  the  tire
valve stem. Press  the tire gage  firm-  8
ly  onto the  valve  to  get a  pressure
measurement. If the cold tire inflation

pressure matches the recommended
pressure   on  the   tire   and   loading

ment is  necessary. If the pressure  is
low, add  air until  you reach  the rec-
ommended amount.
