Tyres
If you check the pressure when the
tyres are hot [the car has been
driven several kilometres (miles)],
you will see readings 30 to 40 kPa
(0.3 to 0.4 kgf/cm , 4 to 6 psi) higher
than the cold reading. This is normal.
Do not let air out to match the
specified cold pressure. The tyre will
be underinflated.
You should get your own tyre
pressure gauge and use it whenever
you check your tyre pressures. This
will make it easier for you to tell if a
pressure loss is due to a tyre
problem and not due to a variation
between gauges.

Maintenance
Recommended Tyre Pressures
The recommended cold tyre
pressures are given on the tyre
information label on the driver's
doorjamb.
Tubeless tyres have some ability to
self-seal if they are punctured.
However, because leakage is often
very slow, you should look closely
for punctures if a tyre starts losing
pressure.

Inspection

Every time you check inflation, you
should also examine the tyres for
damage, foreign objects, and wear.
You should look for:
Bumps or bulges in the tread or
side of the tyre. Replace the tyre if
you find either of these conditions.
Cuts, splits, or cracks in the side
of the tyre. Replace the tyre if you
can see fabric or cord.
Excessive tread wear.
