Tire Pressure
When to check
Check the pressure of cold tires at
least every 14 days and before any
long journey. Do not forget the spare
tire. It should be at 60 psi. This also
applies to vehicles with tire pressure
monitoring system.
Tire pressure on the label on the front
left door frame.
The tire pressure data refers to cold
tires. It applies to summer and winter
tires.
How to check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage
to check tire pressure. You can't tell if
your tires are properly inflated simply
by looking at them. Radial tires may
look properly inflated even when
they're underinflated. Be sure to put
the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by
keeping out dirt and moisture.
Vehicle care
Always inflate the spare tire to the
pressure specified for full load.
The ECO tire pressure serves to
achieve the smallest amount of fuel
consumption possible.
Incorrect tire pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tire
wear.
9 Warning
Tire pressure that is too low can
result in considerable tire warm-up
and internal damage, leading to
tread separation and even to tire
blowout at high speeds.
If the tire pressure shall be reduced or
increased on a vehicle with tire pres‐
sure monitoring system, switch off ig‐
nition.
Inflation - Tire pressure
The tire-loading information label
shows the correct inflation pressures
for your tires when they're cold. "Cold"
