◆
Reduced driving comfort and shortened tire life
◆
Safety reduction
When checking tire pressure, follow the below instructions:
Recommended
tire pressures
Front wheels
Rear wheels
7.0psi
(
48.3kPa
)
7.0psi
(
48.3kPa
)
◆
Inspection can only be carried out after the tire cools down.
◆
If the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours, or has not
driven more than 93 miles. Rechecking at this time can get
an accurate reading of the cold tire inflation pressure.
◆
Do use tire pressure gauges. Tire appearance can sometimes
be misleading. In addition, even a few pounds less air in a tire
can affect driving and handling performance.
◆
Don't reduce the tire pressure after driving. Increased tire
pressure is normal after driving.
