Always use a tire pressure gauge.
●
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly inflated based only on its appearance.
It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving as heat is
●
generated in the tire. Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after driving.
Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
●
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.
Checking the specified tire inflation pressure
The recommended cold tire inflation pressure
