Tire inflation
Check tire inflation pressure regularly.
Tables listing the recommended inflation
pressure for your vehicle can be found on
06
pages 217 and 218. A tire inflation pressure
placard is also located on the driver's side B-
pillar (the structural member at the side of the
vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door open-
ing). This placard indicates the designation of
the factory-mounted tires on your vehicle, as
well as load limits and inflation pressure.

NOTE
• The placards shown indicate inflation
pressure for the tires installed on the vehicle
at the factory only.
• A certain amount of air seepage from the
tires occurs naturally and tire pressure fluc-
tuates with seasonal changes in tempera-
ture. Always check tire pressure regularly.
• Use a tire gauge to check the tire inflation
pressure, including the spare, at least
once a month and before long trips. You
are strongly urged to buy a reliable tire
pressure gauge, as automatic service sta-
tion gauges may be inaccurate.
• Use the recommended cold inflation pres-
sure for optimum tire performance and
wear.
• Under-inflation or over-inflation may
cause uneven treadwear patterns.
WARNING
• Under-inflation is the most common
cause of tire failure and may result in severe
tire cracking, tread separation, or "blow-
out," with unexpected loss of vehicle con-
trol and increased risk of injury.
• Under-inflated tires reduce the load car-
rying capacity of your vehicle.

When weather temperature changes occur,
tire inflation pressures also change. A 10-
degree temperature drop causes a corre-
sponding drop of 1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation
pressure. Check your tire pressures fre-
quently and adjust them to the proper pres-
sure, which can be found on the vehicle's tire
information placard or certification label.
Checking tire pressure
Cold tires
Inflation pressure should be checked when
the tires are cold.
The tires are considered to be cold when
they have the same temperature as the
surrounding (ambient) air.
