Adjust the air pressure to the specification

vice station and fill to the correct pres-
sure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire inflation
valve cap as dirt and moisture could get
into the valve core and possibly cause air
leakage. If the cap is missing, have a new
one put on as soon as possible.

tire securely.
As soon after changing wheels as pos-

wrench. Have a technician repair the flat
tire and replace the spare tire with it.
This is the same procedure for changing
or rotating your tires.
