Wheels and Tires

* Check tire wear and cracking.

* Inspect the tire sidewall for damage.

* Check the tire pressure and adjust the pressure as
necessary when the tires are cold.

Adjust the tire pressure to the specification shown in the
table, in order to make the balance of rigidity between the
front and rear tires more uniform when the temperature of
the tires increases due to driving at high speed or engag-
ing in high performance driving.

Condition

Pressure PSI (kPa)

Starting to drive (Tires are cold)

Front: 30.5 (210) - 31.9 (220)
Rear: 29 (200)

Increasing tire pressure (Tires are
hot)

Front: Not exceeding 39.2
(270)
Rear: Not exceeding 37.8 (260)

The tire pressure changes depending on the outside
temperature or altitude. Check the tire pressure regularly
and when the climate conditions change.

* The chart below indicates how the tire pressure will
decrease as outside air temperature decreases.

WARNING: Keep your tires inflated to the correct
tire pressure. Driving with low tire pressure can
damage some powertrain systems and affect the
operation of the ABS and VDC systems. Low tire
pressure may also cause tire failure and result in
serious personal injury or death.

* Make sure the tire valve stem cap is installed and that the
valve stem is tight. When installing the cap, make sure to
tighten the cap by hand. If a tool is used to tighten the cap,
the cap may be damaged.

* Make sure the wheel nuts are tight.

* Make sure the drive shaft nuts are tight.
