Tires

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

2

) per month.

Remember to check the spare tire at

the same time you check all the

other tires.

Check the pressure in the tires when

they are cold. This means the vehicle

has been parked for at least three

hours. If you have to drive the

vehicle before checking the tire

pressure, the tires can still be
considered "cold" if you drive less
than 1 mile (1.6 km).

If you check the pressure when the
tires are hot (the vehicle has been
driven several miles), you will see
readings 4 to 6 psi (30 to 40 kPa, 0.3

to 0.4 kgf/cm

2

) higher than the cold

reading. This is normal. Do not let

air out to match the specified cold

pressure. The tire will be
underinflated.

You should get your own tire

pressure gauge and use it whenever

you check your tire pressures. This
will make it easier for you to tell if a

pressure loss is due to a tire problem
and not due to a variation between
gauges.

Recommended Tire Pressures for

Normal Driving

The following chart shows the

recommended cold tire pressures for
most normal driving conditions and

speeds. Tire pressures for high

speed driving are the same as for

normal driving.

The compact spare tire pressure is:

60 psi (420 kPa , 4.2 kgf/cm

)
