Inflation

Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label, located on the
driver's door, ,shows the correct inflation pressures for
your tires when they're cold. "Cold" means your vehicle
has been sitting for at least three hours or driven no
more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
If you'll be driving at speeds higher than 100 mph (160
km/h)
where it is legal, raise the cold inflation pressure
of each tire
to 35 psi (240 Ea). When you end
this
very high-speed
driving, reduce the cold inflation pressures to those
listed on
the Tire-Loading Information label.
