· Refer to the tire pressure label located on the inside of the fuel filler door. The tire pressures shown on
the top line of the label will provide best fuel economy. The tire pressures shown on the second line will
provide a softer ride, but may reduce fuel economy.

· The tire pressure should be corrected only when the tires are cold.
· With warm tires, correct only when the pressure is too low. The tire temperature rises after driving just
a few miles.
