Ride Comfort and Vehicle Stability

Proper tire inflation contributes to a com-
fortable ride. Over-inflation produces a
jarring and uncomfortable ride.

Tire Inflation Pressures

The proper cold tire inflation pressure is
listed on the driver’s side B-Pillar.

Some vehicles may have Supplemental
Tire Pressure Information for vehicle loads
that are less than the maximum loaded
vehicle condition. These pressure condi-
tions will be found in the “Supplemental
Tire Pressure Information” section of this
manual.

The pressure should be checked and ad-
justed as well as inspecting for signs of
tire wear or visible damage at least once a
month. Use a good quality pocket-type
gauge to check tire pressure. Do not make

a visual judgement when determining
proper inflation. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they are
under-inflated.

CAUTION!

After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve stem,
which could damage the valve stem.

Inflation pressures specified on the plac-
ard are always “cold tire inflation pres-
sure.” Cold tire inflation pressure is de-
fined as the tire pressure after the vehicle
has not been driven for at least three
hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)
after a three hour period. The cold tire
inflation pressure must not exceed the

maximum inflation pressure molded into
the tire sidewall.

Check tire pressures more often if subject
to a wide range of outdoor temperatures,
as tire pressures vary with temperature
changes.

Tire pressures change by approximately
1 psi (7 kPa) per 12°F (7°C) of air tempera-
ture change. Keep this in mind when
checking tire pressure inside a garage,
especially in the winter.

Example: If garage temperature = 68°F
(20°C) and the outside temperature =
32°F (0°C) then the cold tire inflation pres-
sure should be increased by 3 psi
(21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for
every 12°F (7°C) for this outside tempera-
ture condition.
