Consequences of incorrect tire pressure
■
Tire.pressure.too.low:
● Rolling.resistance.is.higher.than.normal,.and.fuel.consumption.is.increased.
● Vehicle.control.and.stability.will.decrease.
● Low.tire.pressure.and.high.temperatures.cause.flat.tires..When.tire.pressure.is.
extremely.low,.tires.may.separate.from.the.rims,.creating.a.safety.hazard.
● Tire.wear.will.be.uneven.
Tire.pressure.too.high:
● The.overall.comfort.will.be.lowered.

Check tire pressure timely even if your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring.system.that.can.promptly.alert.you.of.tire.pressure.conditions.
Follow.the.following.precautions.for.checking.tire.pressure:
● Check.the.pressure.in.the.tires.when.they.are.cold.
If.the.vehicle.has.been.parked.for.at.least.3.hours.or.driven.less.than.1.5km,.an.
accurate.tire.pressure.reading.can.be.obtained.
● Be.sure.to.use.a.tire.pressure.gauge.
The.appearance.of.the.tire.may.sometimes.be.misleading..In.addition,.even.if.it.
is.slightly.underinflated,.the.tire.may.reduce.running.smoothness.and.handling.
stability.
● Do.not.deflate.or.depressurize.the.tires.after.driving..Increased.tire.pressure.is.
normal.after.driving.
● Do.not.overload.the.vehicle.
The weight of the passengers and luggage should be evenly distributed to
