Checking Tires
Air Pressure
Too low or too high a tire air pressure not
only affects the ride or causes damage to
the cargo but also causes abnormal heat
buildup, premature wear, a tire puncture,
or may even cause the tire to burst.
Use an appropriate tire air pressure gauge
when measuring the air pressure of a tire.
Tire air pressure should be measured when
the tire is cold, or before the vehicle is
driven. (After driving, tire air pressure
increases by about 10%.)
As the tire air pressure varies depending on
the vehicle model and tire size, refer to the
VIN, Weight Rating, and Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) Emissions Plate on the driver's door
opening frame or the tire air pressure
information on the following table.
