1 Inflation pressure check
•
Always check tire pressure before driving, when
the tires are still cool. Make sure that the valve
caps are securely fitted on each tire.
• The tire tread profile can give a rough estimate
of the tire pressure. If the tires appear incorrectly
inflated, check and adjust the air pressure
before operating the vehicle.
Properly inflated
Overinflated
Underinflated
• Use an air gauge for precise measurement. If
your vehicle uses low-profile tires, the air pres-
sure must be checked using an air gauge.
