TIRES
Tire Pressure
Driving a vehicle with the incorrect tire pressure may result in the
following consequences:
•
Reduced fuel efficiency
•
Reduced driving comfort and shortened tire life
•
Reduced driving safety
When checking tire pressure, use the following pressures:
•
Allow the tire cools down before checking pressure.
•
If the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours, or has not
driven more than 1.5 km, the check at this time can get an
accurate reading of the cold tire inflation pressure.
•
Tire appearance can sometimes be misleading. Even a few
pounds less air in a tire can affect driving and handling
performance.
•
Increasing of tire pressure is normal after the ride; do not reduce
the tire pressure after driving.
