• 30 psi (210 kPa) or more:
Continue driving for another 10 minutes or until you reach the nearest service
station. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
If the air does not go down after the 10 minute drive, you do not need to
check the pressure any more.
• Greater than 19 psi (130 kPa), but less than 30 psi (210 kPa):
Turn the air compressor on to inflate the tire until the tire pressure reaches
30 psi (210 kPa).
Then drive carefully for 10 more minutes or until you reach the nearest service
station. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
You should repeat this procedure as long as the air pressure is within this
range.
