WHEELS AND TIRES

Adjusting tire pressure
Tire pressure decreases over time, which is
normal. The tire pressure must therefore be
adjusted to maintain the recommended tire
pressure.
Use the recommended inflation pressure for
cold tires to help maintain good tire perform-
ance and even wear.
To help prevent incorrect inflation pressure,
pressure should be checked when the tires
are cold. The tires are considered to be
cold when they have reached the same
temperature as the ambient temperature
(about 3 hours after the vehicle was last
driven). After driving for a few kilometers,
the tires will warm up and the pressure will
increase.
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire and
press the air pressure gauge firmly onto
the valve.
2. Inflate the tire to the correct inflation pres-
sure; see the tire pressure placard on the
driver's side B pillar for recommended
pressures for factory-mounted tires.
3. Screw the valve cap back on.
•
After inflating a tire, always replace the
valve cap to help prevent valve damage
caused by gravel, dirt, etc.
•
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
4. Visually inspect the tire to make sure there
are no nails or other embedded objects
that could puncture the tire and cause air
leakage.
5. Check the sidewalls to make sure there
are no gouges, cuts, bulges or other irreg-
ularities.
6. Repeat this procedure for each tire, includ-
ing the spare tire

.
If you have overfilled the tire, release air by
pushing on the metal stem in the center of
the valve. Then recheck the pressure with
your tire gauge.
Some spare tires require higher inflation
pressure than the other tires. Consult the
tire inflation pressure table or the inflation
pressure decal.
