Caution (Continued)
Poor handling.
Reduced fuel economy.
Overinflated tyres, or tyres
that have too much air, can
result in:
Unusual wear.
Poor handling.
Rough ride.
Needless damage from
road hazards.
The Tyre and Loading
Information label on the vehicle
indicates the original equipment
tyres and the correct cold tyre
inflation pressures. The
recommended pressure is the
minimum air pressure needed to
support the vehicle's maximum
load carrying capacity. See
Vehicle Load Limits on
page 9-10.
How the vehicle is loaded
affects vehicle handling and ride
comfort. Never load the vehicle
with more weight than it was
designed to carry.
When to Check
Check the tyres once a month or
more. Do not forget the compact
spare, if the vehicle has one.
The cold compact spare tyre
pressure should be at 420 kPa
(60 psi). See Compact Spare
Tyre on page 10-71.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type
gauge to check tyre pressure.
Proper tyre inflation cannot be
determined by looking at the
tyre. Check the tyre inflation
pressure when the tyres are
cold, meaning the vehicle has
Vehicle Care
not been driven for at least three
hours or no more than
1.6 km (1 mi).
Remove the valve cap from the
tyre valve stem. Press the tyre
gauge firmly onto the valve to
get a pressure measurement.
If the cold tyre inflation pressure
matches the recommended
pressure on the Tyre and
Loading Information label, no
further adjustment is necessary.
If the inflation pressure is low,
add air until the recommended
pressure is reached. If the
inflation pressure is high, press
on the metal stem in the centre
of the tyre valve to release air.
Recheck the tyre pressure with
the tyre gauge.
Return the valve caps on the
valve stems to prevent leaks
and keep out dirt and moisture.
