Inflation-Tire
Pressure
The Certification/Tire
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.
Also see
Capacities
G
Specifications
in the
Index.
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:
Too much
flexing
Too much heat
Tire
overloading
Bad wear
Bad handling
Bad
fuel
economy.
If your tires have too much air
(overinflation)
)
you can get:
Unusual
wear
Bad handling
Rough
ride
Needless
damage
from
road
hazards.
When
to
Check
Check
your
tires once
a
month or more.
Also,
check the tire pressure
of
the
spare tire.
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.
