Checking the tire pressure

1. Remove the valve stem cap from the

tire.

2.

Press the pressure gauge squarely onto
the valve stem. Do not press too hard or
force the valve stem sideways, or air will
escape. If the hissing sound of air
escaping from the tire is heard while
checking the pressure, reposition the
gauge to eliminate this leakage.

3.

Remove the gauge.

4.

Read the tire pressure on the gauge
stem and compare it to the specifica-

tion shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label.

5.

Add air to the tire as needed. If too
much air is added, press the core of the
valve stem briefly with the tip of the
gauge stem to release pressure. Re-
check the pressure and add or release
air as needed.

6.

Install the valve stem cap.

7.

Check the pressure of all other tires,
including the spare.
