Tire Pressure
The Certificatiodl'ire label which is on the rear edge of 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 a mile.
I
NOTICE:
Don't let anyone tell you that underinflation or overinflation is
all right. It's not. If your tires don't have enough
air
(underinflation) you can get:
Too much flexing
0
Too much heat
0
Tire overloading
0
Bad wear
0
Bad handling
0
Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have too much air (overinflation), you can get:
0
Unusual wear
0
Bad handling
0
Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.
When to Check
Check your tires once a month or more.
Don't forget your compact spare tire. It should be at 60 psi (420 P a ) .
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire pressure. Simply looking
at the tires will not tell you the pressure, especially if you have radial tires
- which may look properly inflated even if they're underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help prevent
leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
