matches the recommended
pressure on the Tyre and
Loading Information label, no
further adjustment is necessary.
If the inflation pressure is low,
add air until the recommended
pressure is reached. If the
inflation pressure is high, press
on the metal stem in the centre
of the tyre valve to release air.
Re-check the tyre pressure with
the tyre gauge.
Return the valve caps on the
valve stems to prevent leaks
and keep out dirt and moisture.
Tyre Pressure for
High-Speed Operation
Warning
Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h
(100 mph) or higher, puts an
additional strain on tyres.
Warning (Continued)
Sustained high-speed driving
causes excessive heat build-up
and can cause sudden tyre
failure. You could have a crash
and you or others could be killed.
Some high-speed rated tyres
require inflation pressure
adjustment for high-speed
operation. When speed limits and
road conditions are such that a
vehicle can be driven at high
speeds, make sure the tyres are
rated for high-speed operation, in
excellent condition, and set to the
correct cold tyre inflation pressure
for the vehicle load.
Vehicles with P265/65R18 or P285/
45R22 size tyres require inflation
pressure adjustment when driving
the vehicle at speeds of 160 km/h
(100 mph) or higher. Set the cold
inflation pressure to 20 kPa (3 psi)
above the recommended tyre

pressure shown on the Tyre and
Loading Information Label. Return
the tyres to the recommended cold
tyre inflation pressure when
high-speed driving has ended. See
Vehicle Load Limits on page 9-14
and Tyre Pressure on page 10-43.

Tyre Pressure Monitor

System

Notice: Modifications made to the
Tyre Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) by anyone other than an
authorised service facility may
void authorisation to use the
system.
The Tyre Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) uses radio and sensor
technology to check tyre pressure
levels. The TPMS sensors monitor
the air pressure in your vehicle's
tyres and transmit tyre pressure
readings to a receiver located in the
vehicle.
Each tyre, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended
