The placard may display the tyre
sizes and pressures as described
below:
(1) Tyre size, minimum load rating,
minimum speed rating
(2) Tyre pressure at normal load
(3) Tyre pressure for fuel economy
driving at normal load
(4) Tyre pressure at maximum load
Tyres need the correct amount
of air pressure to operate
effectively.

Caution
Neither tyre underinflation nor
overinflation is good.
Underinflated tyres or tyres that
do not have enough air, can
result in:
.
Tyre overloading and
overheating which could lead
to a blowout.
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
.
Premature or irregular wear.
.
Poor handling.
.
Reduced fuel economy.
Overinflated tyres, or tyres that
have too much air, can result in:
.
Unusual wear.
.
Poor handling.
.
Rough ride.
.
Needless damage from road
hazards.
The tyre placard on the vehicle
indicates the original equipment
tyres and the correct cold tyre
inflation pressures. The
recommended pressure is the
minimum air pressure needed to
support the vehicle's maximum
load carrying capacity.
When to Check
Check the tyres once a month
or more.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type
gauge to check the tyre
pressure. Proper tyre inflation
cannot be determined by looking
at the tyre. Check the tyre
inflation pressure when the tyres
are cold, meaning the vehicle
has not been driven for at least
three hours or no more
than 1.6 km.
Remove the valve cap from the
tyre valve stem. Press the tyre
gauge firmly onto the valve to
get the pressure measurement.
If the cold tyre inflation pressure
matches the recommended
pressure on the tyre placard, no
further adjustment is necessary.
