Proper tire pressure extends tire life and
improves the vehicle's driving comfort, economy,
and handling stability.
Low tire pressure increases tire wear,
significantly affects handling stability and fuel
economy, and increases the risk of tire failure.
High tire pressure leads to unstable driving,
uneven tire wear, and reduced tire lifespan.
Check tire pressure at least once a month,
and also after driving on rough roads or before
long trips.
Check tire pressure when the tires are cold.
Cold tires are those that have not been driven for
at least 3 hours or have been driven less than 1.6
km.
Refer to the "Tire Information Label" for the
standard cold tire pressure.

pressure when the tires are cold.
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve
stem and check for air leaks using the soap
solution method.
NOTE
Apply a mixture of water and household
detergent to the valve stem and observe if
bubbles form, indicating a leak.
