Checking Tire Inflation Pressure - Toyota Avalon Owner's Manual

Checking tire inflation
pressure
'06 AVALON_U (L/O 0508)
Keep your tire inflation pressures
at the proper level.
The recommended cold tire inflation
pressures, tire sizes and the com-
bined weight of occupants and cargo
(vehicle capacity weight) are de-
scribed on page 376 in Section 8.
They are also on the tire and loading
information label.
You should check the tire inflation
pressure every two weeks, or at least
once a month. And do not forget the
spare!
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
The following instructions for

checking tire inflation pressure

should be observed:
D The
pressure should
checked only when the tires are
cold. If your vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours and has
not been driven for more than 1.5
km or 1 mile since, you will get
an accurate cold tire inflation pres-
sure reading.
D Always use a tire pressure
gauge. The appearance of a tire
can be misleading. Besides, tire
inflation pressures that are even
just a few pounds off can degrade
ride and handling.
D Take special care when adding
air to the compact spare tire.
The smaller tire size can gain
pressure very quickly. Add com-
pressed air in small quantities and
check the pressure often until it
reaches the specified pressure.
