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.
Tire
inspection
and
Rotation
To
make
your
tires
last
longer,
have
them
inspected
and
rotated
at the
mileages
recommended
in
the
Mainte-
nance
Schedule.
See
the
Index
under
Scheduled
Maintenance Sewices.
Use
this
rotation
pattern.
After
the
tires have
been rotated,
adjust
the
front
and
rear
inflation
pressure
as
shown
on
the
Certification/Tire
label.
Make
certain
that
all
wheel
nuts
are
properly
tightened.
See
the
I d e x
