: If your vehicle is not equipped with a compact spare tire, a Tire Mobility Kit will be
provided with your vehicle.
NOTICE
• It is permissible to add 20 kPa (3 psi) to the standard tire pressure specifi-
cation if colder temperatures are expected soon. Tires typically lose 7 kPa
(1 psi) for every 7°C temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations
are expected, recheck your tire pressure as necessary to keep them prop-
erly inflated.
• An air pressure generally decreases, as you drive up to a high-altitude area
above sea level. Thus, if you plan to drive a high-altitude area, check the
tire pressures in advance. If necessary, inflate them to a proper level (Air
inflation per altitude: +10 kPa/1 km.
CAUTION
When replacing tires, ALWAYS use the same size, type, brand, construction
and tread pattern supplied with the vehicle. If not, it can damage the related
parts or make it work irregularly.
