n Inflation Guidelines
• Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread
life, and comfort. Refer to the driver's doorjamb label or the
specifications see SPECIFICATIONS for the specified pressure.
• Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel
economy, and are more likely to fail from overheating.
• Overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to
road hazards, and wear unevenly.
• Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower
than the others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
• Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has
been parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If
necessary, add or release air until the specified pressure is reached. If
checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 4-6 psi (30-40 kPa,
2
0.3-0.4 kgf/cm ) higher than checked when cold.
• At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the
pressure in all tires, including the spare
can lose 1-2 psi (10-20 kPa, 0.1-0.2 kgf/cm

the side or tread. Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks.
