Checking tire pressure
Cold tires
Inflation pressure should be checked when the
tires are cold.
The tires are considered to be cold when
they have the same temperature as the sur-
rounding (ambient) air.
This temperature is normally reached after the
car has been parked for at least 3 hours.
After driving a distance of approximately 1 mile
(1.6 km), the tires are considered to be hot. If
you have to drive farther than this distance to
pump your tire(s), check and record the tire
pressure first and add the appropriate air pres-
sure when you get to the pump.
If checking tire pressure when the tire is hot,
never "bleed" or reduce air pressure. The tires
are hot from driving and it is normal for pres-
sures to increase above recommended cold
pressures. A hot tire at or below recommended
cold inflation pressure could be significantly
under-inflated.
To check inflation pressure:
1.
Remove the cap from the valve on one tire,
then firmly press the tire gauge onto the
valve.
2.
Add air to reach the recommended air
pressure
3.
Replace the valve cap.
4.
Repeat this procedure for each tire, includ-
ing the spare.
5.
Visually inspect the tires to make sure there
are no nails or other objects embedded
that could puncture the tire and cause an
air leak.
6.
Check the sidewalls to make sure there are
no gouges, cuts, bulges or other irregular-
ities.
NOTE
•
If you overfill 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 tables, see page 181,
or see the inflation pressure placard.
Load ratings
The load ratings in the tables above translate
as follows:
91 = 1365 lbs (615 kg),
93 = 1433 lbs (650 kg),
99 = 1709 lbs (755 kg).
Speed ratings
The speed ratings in the tables translate as fol-
lows:
M = 81 mph (130 km/h),
V = 149 mph (240 km/h),
W = 168 mph (270 km/h).
See also page 183 for an explanation of the
designations on the sidewall of the tire.
