Inflation-Tire Pressure
The Certification/Tire label, which is on the driver’s door lock pillar, 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.

When
to
Check: Check your tires once a month or more. Don’t forget your
compact spare tire (if
so
equipped). It should be at
60
psi
(420
kPa).
How
to
Check: Use
a
good quality pocket-type gage to check tire pressure.
Simply looking at the tires will not tell you the pressure, especially
if
you
have radial tires-which may
l’ook
properly inflated even
if
they’re
underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure
to
put them back on. They help
prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Ere
lnspection and Rotation
To
make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended in the Maintenance Schedule. See Scheduled
Maintenance Services in the Index.
