When to Check
Check your tires once a month or more.
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be
at 60 psi (420 kPa).
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket
-
type gage to check tire
pressure. You can’t tell if your tires are properly inflated
simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they’re underinflated.
Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt
and moisture.
Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System
(If Equipped)
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system uses radio
and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels.
Sensors, mounted on each road wheel, transmit tire
pressure readings to a receiver located in the trunk.
Tire pressure status and tire pressure warnings are
shown on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display.
See “Driver Information Center (DIC)” in the Index
for details regarding DIC controls and displays.
