Tires: 6 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE tire gauge until you reach the correct pressure. 5) If the air pressure is too low, fill the tire with air at a service station until it reaches the recommended pressure. 6) Make sure all tires have the same air pressure (unless the owner's manual indicates otherwise). WARNING • Air pressures should be checked when the tires are cold or you may get inaccurate readings. • Check the inflation pressure from time to time while inflating the tire gradually, until the specified pressure is obtained. (Continued) WARNING (Continued) Tire Inspection Inspect your vehicle's tires at least once a month by performing the following checks: 1) Measure the air pressure with a tire gauge. Adjust the pressure if necessary. Remember to check the spare tire, too. Refer to the "Measuring Air Pressure" section. • Never underinflate or overinflate the tires. Underinflation can cause unusual handling characteristics or can cause the rim to slip on the tire bead, resulting in an accident or damage to the tire or rim. Underinflation can also cause tires to overheat, leading to tire failure. Overinflation can cause the tire to burst, resulting in personal injury. Overinflation can also cause unusual handling characteristics which may result in an accident. 54G136 (1) Tread wear indicator (2) Indicator location mark 2) Check that the depth of the tread groove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). To help you check this, the tires have molded-in tread wear indicators in the grooves. When the indicators appear on the tread surface, the remaining depth of the tread is 7-28 79K21-03E
