Tire Pressures
Underinflation is the most common cause
of tire failure and may result in severe tire
cracking and tread separation (i.e. “blowout”), with
unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury.
Correctly inflated tires will ensure that you enjoy the best
combination of vehicle range, tire life, ride comfort, and road
handling.
You should check each tire monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label, which is located in the lower frame of the right door.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also
reduces battery range and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Checking and adjusting tire pressures
This vehicle does not have a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS). Tire
pressures should be checked with each pre-drive inspection,
and checked at least once per month. See
.
Tire pressures should be checked using an
accurate pressure gauge when the tires are
cold and the vehicle has been stationary for more than three
hours. A hot tire at or below recommended cold inflation
pressure is dangerously underinflated.
If the vehicle has been parked in strong
sunlight or used in high ambient
temperatures, do not reduce the tire pressures. Move the
vehicle into the shade and allow the tires to cool before
checking.
Always inflate your tires to the recommended inflation
pressure, even if it is different from the maximum inflation
pressure information found on the tire itself.
Always replace the valve stem cap after adjusting tire
pressures.
Note: It is an offense in certain countries to drive a vehicle with
incorrect tire pressures.
