Tire Pressure
Under-inflation increases tire flexing and can result in tire failure. Over-inflation causes a
tire to be too stiff. Objects on the ground could puncture the tire more easily and tire failure
could occur. Unequal tire pressure can cause steering problems and could also cause loss of
control of the vehicle. Take these steps to ensure correct tire pressures:
a.
Use an accurate tire pressure gauge.
b.
Check the tire pressure when tires are cold, which is after the vehicle has been
parked for over an hour or has been driven less than 3 miles.
c.
Adjust the tire pressure according to the recommended specifications listed on
the sidewall of the tires and on the vehicle’s VIN label on the driver’s seat base.
