Recommended Inflation Pressure
:
The recommended tire inflation pressure is
shown on the tire placard see Tire Pressure
in this section.
Tire Pressure
Tires need the correct amount of air
pressure to operate effectively.
Caution
Neither tire under inflation nor over
inflation is good. Underinflated tires, or
tires that do not have enough air, can
result in:

Tire overloading and overheating
which could lead to a blowout.

Premature or irregular wear.

Poor handling.

Reduced fuel economy.
Overinflated tires, or tires that have too
much air, can
result in:
(Continued)
Caution

Unusual wear.

Poor handling.

Rough ride.
Needless damage from road hazards.
The Tire and Loading Information label on
the vehicle indicates the original
equipment tires and the correct cold tire
inflation pressures. The recommended
pressure will give the best vehicle handling
and ride comfort
The Tire Pressure Placard can be found
under the dash on the driver side of the
vehicle
When to Check
Check the tires once a month or more.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gauge to
check tire pressure. Proper tire inflation
cannot be determined by looking at the
tire. Check the tire inflation pressure when
the tires are cold, meaning the vehicle has
not been driven for at least three hours or
no more than 1.6 km (1 mi).
Remove the valve cap from the tire valve
stem. Press the tire gauge firmly onto the
valve to get a pressure measurement. If the
cold tire inflation pressure matches the
recommended pressure on the Tire and
Loading Information label, no further
adjustment is necessary. If the inflation
pressure is low, add air until the
recommended pressure is reached. If the
inflation pressure is high, press on the
metal stem in the center of the tire valve to
release air.
Recheck the tire pressure with the tire
gauge. Put the valve caps back on the valve
stems to keep out dirt and moisture and
prevent leaks.
