Guidelines
All adjustments have already been performed
at factory. It is only necessary to validate them.
However, if readjustment is needed, refer to the
appropriate
ROADSTER SHOP MANUAL
for the
proper procedure.
Tire Pressure
WARNING
Low pressure may cause tire to deflate and
rotate on wheel. Overpressure may burst the
tire. Always follow recommended pressure.
NOTICE
Always check pressure when tires are
cold before using the vehicle.
NOTE:
Tire pressure changes with temperature
and altitude. Recheck pressure if one of these
conditions has changed (e.g., significant weather
change, driving in the mountains).
Inflate tires to the specified air pressure. Refer to
the following table.
COLD TIRE PRESSURE RECOMMENDATION
FRONT

103 kPa ± 14 kPa
(15 PSI ± 2 PSI)
193 kPa ± 14 kPa
(28 PSI ± 2 PSI)
NOTE:
The pressure difference between the left
and right side tire should not exceed 3.4 kPa
(.5 PSI).
For your convenience, an electronic pressure
gauge is supplied in the tool kit.
