pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure,
observe the following:
Check only when the tires are cold.

If your vehicle has been parked for at least
3 hours or has not been driven for more
than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accu-
rate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
● 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 gen-
erated in the tire. Do not reduce tire infla-
tion 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 infla-
tion pressure
