Keeping the tires properly inflated
provides the best combination of
handling, tread life, and riding
comfort.

Underinflated tires wear unevenly,
adversely affect handling and fuel
economy, and are more likely to
fail from being overheated.

Overinflated tires can make your
vehicle ride more harshly, are
more prone to damage from road
hazards, and wear unevenly.

We recommend that you visually
check your tires every day. If you
think a tire might be low, check it
immediately with a tire gauge.

The compact spare tire pressure is:

For convenience, the recommended
tire sizes and cold air pressures are
on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.

.

Tire pressure for high speed driving
is the same as for normal driving.

Use a gauge to measure the air
pressure at least once a month. Even
tires that are in good condition may
lose one to two psi (10 to 20 kPa, 0.1
to 0.2 kgf/cm ) per month.
Remember to check the spare tire at
the same time.

Check the pressure in the tires when
they are cold. This means the vehicle
has been parked for at least three
hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6
km).

Add or release air, if needed, to
match the recommended cold tire
pressures.
