Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
●
Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been
driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire
inflation pressure reading.
●
Always use a tire pressure gauge.
The appearance of the tire can be misleading. In addition, tire inflation
pressure that is even just a few pounds off can affect ride quality and
handling.
●
Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after driving. It is normal for tire
inflation pressure to be higher after driving.
●
Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is
balanced.
