Pre-Travel Information
3. At a service station or using an air compressor, add
the missing pounds of air pressure to each tire that is
under-inflated.
4. Check all the tires to make sure they have the same air
pressure.
If you have been driving your vehicle and think that a tire is
under-inflated, fill it to the recommended cold inflation pres-
sure indicated on your vehicle’s Tire and Loading Information
label. While your tire may still be slightly under-inflated due
to the extra pounds of pressure in the warm tire, it is safer to
drive with air pressure that is slightly lower than the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressure than
to drive with a significantly under-inflated tire. Since this is a
temporary fix, do not forget to recheck and adjust the tire’s
pressure when you can obtain a cold reading.
TIRE SAFETY TIPS
Preventing tire damage
• Slow down if you have to go over a pothole or other
object in the road.
• Do not run over curbs or other foreign objects in the
roadway or when parking.
Tire safety checklist
• Check tire pressure regularly (at least once a month),
including the spare.
• Inspect tires for uneven wear patterns on the tread,
cracks, foreign objects, or other signs of wear or trau-
ma.
• Remove bits of glass and foreign objects wedged in
the tread.
• Make sure your tire valves have valve caps.
• Check tire pressure before going on a long trip.
• Do not overload your vehicle. Check the Tire Informa-
tion and Loading Label.
