Use a gauge to measure the air
pressure at least once a month. Even
tires that are in good condition may
lose one to two psi (10 to 20 kPa, 0.1
to 0.2 kgf/cm ) per month.
Remember to check the spare tire at
the same time.
Check the pressure in the tires when
they are cold. This means the vehicle
has been parked for at least three
hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6
km).
Add or release air, if needed, to
match the recommended cold tire
pressures on this page.
If you check the pressure when the
tires are hot [driven for several miles
(kilometers)], you will see readings
to 6 psi (30 to 40 kPa, 0.3 to
0.4 kgf/cm ) higher than the cold
reading. This is normal; do not
release air to match the cold
pressure. The tires will be
underinflated.
You should use your own tire
pressure gauge whenever you check
your tire pressures. This will make it
easier for you to tell if a pressure
loss is due to a tire problem and not
due to a variation between gauges.
While tubeless tires have some
ability to self-seal if they are
punctured, you should look closely
for punctures if a tire starts losing
pressure.
Recommended Tire Pressures
The following chart shows the
4 recommended cold tire pressures for
most normal driving conditions.
Tire Size Cold Tire Pressure
for Normal Driving
Front:
P165/65R14 78S 38 psi (260 kPa ,
2.6 kgf/cm )
Rear:
35 psi (240 kPa ,
2.4 kgf/cm )
The compact spare tire pressure is:
60 psi (420 kPa , 4.2 kgf/cm )
For convenience, the recommended
tire sizes and cold tire pressures are
on a label on the driver's doorjamb.
