The low-pressure tire gauge is included as stan-
dard equipment. Make two measurements of the
tire pressure and use the second reading. Dust or
dirt in the gauge could cause the first reading to be
incorrect.

Tire wear limit

When the tire groove decreases to 3 mm (0.12 in)
due to wear, replace the tire.

Recommended tire pressure:

Front

35.0 kPa (0.350 kgf/cm², 5.0 psi)

Rear

35.0 kPa (0.350 kgf/cm², 5.0 psi)

Minimum tire pressure:

Front

32.0 kPa (0.320 kgf/cm², 4.6 psi)

Rear

32.0 kPa (0.320 kgf/cm², 4.6 psi)

Maximum tire seating pressure:

Front

250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm², 36 psi)

Rear

250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm², 36 psi)
