Tire inflation pressure

Checking tire pressures

Tire pressures in psi/kilopascal are
shown on the driver's door post and are
visible when the door is open.

Only check the tire inflation pressures
of cold tires. This means after driving a
maximum of 1.25 miles/2 km or after
the vehicle has been parked for at least
2 hours. Warm tires have higher infla-
tion pressures.

In the tire inflation pressure table at the
end of this section, all pressures are
specified in the standard units of pres-
sure, psi and kilopascal, and apply to
cold tires, i.e. tires at ambient tempera-
ture.
