NOTE

y

The air pressure in a tire increases by approxi-

mately 4.3 psi (30 kPa, 0.3 kgf/cm

2

) when the tire

becomes warm.
y

The tires are considered cold when the vehicle

has been parked for at least three hours or has

been driven less than one mile (1.6 km).

Do not let air out of warm tires to adjust pres-

sure. Doing so will result in low tire pressure.

Incorrect tire pressures detract from controllability and

ride comfort, and they cause the tires to wear abnor-

mally.

y

Correct tire pressure (tread worn evenly)

Roadholding is good, and steering is responsive. Roll-

ing resistance is low, so fuel consumption is also low-

er.
