Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve stem. Press the tire gage firm-
ly onto the valve to get a pressure

measurement. If the cold tire inflation
pressure matches the recommended
pressure on the tire and loading

ment is necessary. If the pressure is
low, add air until you reach the rec-

ommended amount.
If you overfill the tire, release air by

Tire rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recom-
mended that the tires be rotated
every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, check the tires for
correct balance.
When rotating tires, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tire pres-
sure, improper wheel alignment, out-
of-balance wheels, severe braking or
severe cornering. Look for bumps or
bulges in the tread or side of tire.
Replace the tire if you find either of
these conditions. Replace the tire
also if you can see fabric or cord.
After rotation, be sure to bring the
front and rear tire pressures to spec-
ification and check lug nut tightness.
Refer to Section 8, Specifications.
