✽

NOTICE

• Warm tires normally exceed rec-

ommended cold tire pressures by

28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do not

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 a valve cap is missing,

install a new one as soon as possi-

ble.

Checking tire inflation pres-

sure

Check your tires once a month or

more.

Also, check the tire pressure of the

spare tire.

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

to sudden tire failure. This could

result in loss of vehicle control

and potential injury.

CAUTION

-

Tire pressure

Always observe the following:

• 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) since startup.)

• 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.
