Inflation
-
Tire
Pressure
The Certificatioflire label
which
is
on
the
rear edge of
the
driver’s
door,
shows
the
correct
inflation
pressures
for your
tires,
when
they’re
cold.
“Cold”
means
your
vehicle
has
been
sitting
for at least three
hours or driven
no
more
than
a
mile.
NOTICE:
Don’t
let
anyone
tell you that
underinflation
or
overinflation is
all right.
It’s
not.
If
your
tires
don’t
have
enough
air
(underinflation) you can get:
0
Too
much flexing
Too
much
heat
Tire overloading
0
Bad
wear
0
Bad
handling
0
Bad
fuel economy.
If
your
tires
have
too
much
air
(overinflation),
you can get:
@
Unusual wear
0
Bad handling
6
Rough ride
6
Needless damage
from
road
hazards.
When
to
Check
Check
your
tires once a
month or more.
Don’t forget your
compact
spare
tire.
It
should
be
at
60
psi
(420
kPa).
How
to
Check
Use
a
good
quality
pocket-type
gage
to check
tire
pressure.
Simply
looking
at
the
tires
will
not
tell
you
the
pressure,
especially
if
you
have
radial
tires
-
which
may
look
properly
inflated
even
if
they’re
underinflated.
If your
tires
have
valve
caps,
be
sure to
put
them
back
on.
They
help
prevent
leaks
by
keeping
out dirt and
moisture.
