Tyre pressure gauge (if equipped)
Tyres normally lose some air in
dayto-day use, and you may have
to add a few pounds of air periodi

cally and it is not usually a sign of a
leaking tyre, but of normal wear.
Always check tyre pressure when
the tyres are cold because tyre
pressure increases with tempera

ture.
To check the tyre pressure, take the
following steps;
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap
that is located on the rim of the
tyre.
2. Press and hold the gauge against
the tyre valve. Some air will
escape as you begin and more will
escape if you don't press the
gauge in firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will acti

vate the gauge.
4. 3ead the tyre pressure on the
gauge to know whether the tyre
pressure is low or high.
. Adjust the tyre pressures to the
specified pressure. 3efer to
"Tyres and wheels" on page 8-.
6. 3einstall the inflation valve cap.
