Inflation

Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label which is located
on
the driver’s door
shows the correct inflation pressures for
your
tires, when they’re cold.
“Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours or
driven
no
more than a mile.
If
you’ll be driving at speeds higher than
100
mph
(160
km/h) where it is
legal, raise the “cold” inflation pressure
of
each tire
to
35
psi
(240
kPa).
When
you
end this very high speed driving, reduce the “cold” inflation
pressures to those listed
on
the Tire-Loading Information label.
