Checking the Air Pressure
Even though your vehicle is equipped with
tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS),
visually inspect your tires and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure
at least once a month or any time you think
the tires look low. Always check air
pressure when your tires are cold.
Do not adjust tire pressure using the values
indicated on the tire pressure gauge of the
INFO 1 display.
The tire pressure values indicated on the
tire pressure gauge of the INFO 1 display
may not match actual values, because the
tire pressure gauge indication is not
updated instantly and is updated only at a
certain period.
Even if the direction of the valve stem is
changed, do not return it to the original
position. Have your vehicle inspected by
your dealer.

Inspecting for Damage
Inspect the tires for
cuts, slits, or cracks
that exposes fabric
or cords, or nails or
other foreign
objects embedded
in the side of the
tire or the tread. Also inspect for any
unusual bumps or bulges in the side walls
of the tires.

Inspecting for Abnormal Wear
Inspect the tires for
signs of abnormal
wear on the
contact surface.
