✽ NOTICE
Checking tire inflation pres-
sure
CAUTION - Tire pressure
Always observe the following:
•
Warm tires normally exceed rec-
ommended cold tire pressures by
to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do not
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 dri-
ven 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
vehicleis 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.

release air from warm tires to
adjust the pressure or the tires will
be underinflated.
•
Be sure to reinstall the tire infla-
tion valve caps. Without the valve
cap, dirt or moisture could get into
the valve core and cause air leak-
age. If the cap have been lost,
install new one as soon as possible.
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"
means your vehicle has been sitting
for at least three hours or driven no
more than 1.6 km (1 mile).
WARNING - Tire Inflation
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 potentialinjury.
