Proper tire inflation pressure is essential for
the safe and satisfactory operation of your
vehicle. The wrong tire pressure will cause
problems in three major areas:
Safety
Too little pressure increases flexing in the
tire and can cause tire failure. Too much
pressure can cause a tire to lose its ability
to cushion shock. Objects on the road and
potholes could then cause tire damage that
may result in tire failure.
Economy
The wrong tire pressure can cause uneven
wear patterns in the tire tread. These
abnormal wear patterns will reduce the
tread life, and the tire will have to be
replaced sooner.
Too little pressure also makes it harder for
the tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel.
Ride comfort and vehicle stability
The superior riding experience built into
your vehicle partly depends on the correct
tire pressure. Too much pressure gives an
uncomfortable and jarring ride. Too little
pressure feels as if your vehicle is slow to
respond.
Unequal tire pressures can make steering
your vehicle uneven and unpredictable.
The correct tire pressure for your vehicle is
listed on the placard attached to the sill of the
driver’s door.
(Refer to “Tire and loading information plac-
ard” on page 11-3.)
The recommended inflation pressures should
be used for the tires listed below.
Tire pressures should be checked, and
adjusted if necessary, at least once a month.
Pressures should be checked more often
whenever weather temperatures change
severely, because tire pressures change with
outdoor temperatures. The pressures listed on
the placard are always “cold inflation pres-
sure”.
Cold inflation pressure is measured after the
vehicle has been parked for at least three
hours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)
after having been parked for three hours.
Cold inflation pressure must not go above the
maximum values molded into the tire side-
wall. After driving several miles, your tire
inflation pressure may increase 14 to 41 KPA,
2 to 6 PSI from the cold inflation pressure.
Do not let air out of the tires to get back to the
specified cold pressure, or your tire pressure
will be too low.
Check your tires each time you refuel. If one
tire looks lower than the others, check the
pressure for all of them.
You should also take the following safety pre-
cautions:
