Tires and Wheels

Tire Care

For proper maintenance, safety, and maximum fuel
economy, you must always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and
weight distribution recommended for your vehicle.

Inflation Pressures

Check all tire pressures (including the spare) monthly
when the tires are cold. “Cold tires” means the car has
not been driven for at least three hours or driven less
than 1.6 km (one mile). Recommended pressures must
be maintained to ensure ride quality, vehicle handling,
and minimum tire wear.

Maintenance

7-34

All specifications (sizes and pressures) can be found
on a label attached to the front passenger door sill.
The correct tire pressure is 200 kPa (29 psi)
The compact spare should be at 415 kPa (60 psi).
