Tyre Pressure
Keep the tyres at the recommended
pressures to avoid increased fuel
consumption and uneven or
premature tyre wear.
The correct pressures are shown on
the tyre placard and in th e tyre
pressure table. See Tyre Pressure
on page 12‑9.
.
Tyre pressure should be
checked when cold as tyre
pressure will increase as the
tyres warm up.
.
Check the air pressure of tyres
(including the spare) weekly, to
ensure occupant safety, r educe
fuel consumption and increase
tyre life.
.
Check pressures when the
vehicle has been stationary for
over 3 hours. If tyre pressures
must be checked immediately
after driving more than 2 km,
increase the tyre placard
pressure by 10%.
.
Use a tyre pressure gauge to
check t he tyres. Simply looking
at the tyres is not sufficient.
.
Replace any valve dust caps or
extensions.
.
Check the condition of the tyre
treads and inspect for stones or
abnormal wear.
.
In the case of constant long
distance or rough road driving,
daily checking is recommended.
.
Tyre pressures may need to be
increased depending on the load
on the vehicle. See Vehicle
Weight on page 12‑6.
.
If the vehicle is loaded to half
the maximum payload, the tyres
should be inflated to halfway
between the minimum and
maximum pressures given on
the tyre placard.
Low profile sports tyres
The vehicle may have low profile
tyres.
Low profile tyres are expected to
experience greater wear than
conventional tyres, depending on
driving conditions.
Follow the tyre care and
maintenance instructions to
maximise the life of the tyres.
