Tire Size

Cold Tire Pressure

for Normal Driving

Front/Rear:

The following chart shows the

recommended cold tire pressures for

most normal and high-speed driving

conditions.

The compact spare tire pressure is:

For convenience, the recommended

tire sizes and cold tire pressures are

on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.

For additional information about

your tires, see page

.

Check the air pressures when the

tires are cold. This means the

vehicle has been parked for at least 3

hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6

km). Add or release air, if needed, to

match the recommended cold tire

pressures.

While tubeless tires have some

ability to self-seal if they are

punctured, you should look closely

for punctures if a tire starts losing

pressure.

You should get your own tire

pressure gauge and use it whenever

you check your tire pressures. This

will make it easier for you to tell if a

pressure loss is due to a tire problem

and not due to a variation between

gauges.

If you check air pressures when the

tires are hot [driven for several miles

(kilometers)], you will see readings 4

to 6 psi (30 to 40 kPa, 0.3 to 0.4

kgf/cm ) higher than the cold

readings. This is normal. Do not let

air out to match the recommended

cold air pressure. The tire will be

underinflated.
