WHEELS AND TIRES If you have a flat tire, see the "In case of emergency" section of this manual. TIRE PRESSURE Tire inflation pressure Check the tire pressures (including the spare) often and always prior to long distance trips. The recommended tire pressure specifications are shown on the Tire and Loading Information label under the Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure heading. The Tire and Loading Information label is affixed to the driver side center pillar. Tire pressures should be checked regularly because: ● Most tires naturally lose air over time. ● Tires can lose air suddenly when driven over potholes or other objects or if the vehicle strikes a curb while parking. The tire pressures should be checked when the tires are cold. The tires are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate speeds. If the tires are used at speeds above 100 mph (162 km/h) where it is legal to do so (on a race track for example), the cold tire inflation pressure must be increased. Refer to Checking tire pressure later in this section. WDI0320 WDI0343 High-mounted stop light (Rear window) Trunk light 8-38 Maintenance and do-it-yourself
