" Type B
The recommended cold tire inflation pressures, tire
size and the combined weight of occupants and
cargo (vehicle capacity weight) are described on the
tire and loading information label.
You should check the tire inflation pressure every two
weeks, or at least once a month. And do not forget the
spare! The pressure for the spare tire should be 220 kPa
2
(2.2 kgf/cm
or bar, 32 psi).
The following instructions for checking tire inflation
pressure should be observed:
D The inflation pressure should be checked only
when the tires are cold. If your vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours and has not been driven for
more than 1.5 km or 1 mile since, you will get an
accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
D Always use a tire pressure gauge. The appearance
of the tire can be misleading. Besides, tire inflation
pressures that are even just a few pounds off can
degrade ride and handling.
D Do not bleed or reduce tire inflation pressure after
driving. It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to
be higher after driving.
D Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should be located so
that the vehicle is balanced.
