 Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
 Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been
driven for more than 1.5 km or 1 mile, you will get an accurate cold tire
inflation pressure reading.
 Always use a tire pressure gauge.
The appearance of the tire can be misleading. In addition, tire inflation
pressure that is even just a few pounds off can affect ride quality and
handling.
 Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after driving. It is normal for tire infla-
tion pressure to be higher after driving.
 Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is
balanced.
