Checking tire inflation pressure
manually
Follow the steps below to achieve cor-
rect tire inflation pressure:
̈ Remove the cap from the valve on
one tire.
̈ Firmly press a tire gauge onto the
valve.
̈ Read the tire inflation pressure on
the tire gauge and compare it with
the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure on the placard (
୴ page 362) lo-
cated on the driver’s door B-pillar.
Warning
G
Observe the recommended tire inflation
pressures.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated
tires wear excessively and/or unevenly,
adversely affect handling and fuel econo-
my, and are more likely to fail from being
overheated.

Warning (Continued)
G
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires
can adversely affect handling and ride
comfort, wear unevenly, increase stop-
ping distance, and result in sudden defla-
tion (blowout) because they are more
likely to become punctured or damaged
by road debris, potholes etc.
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified load limit as indicated on the
tire and loading information placard on
the driver’s door B-pillar. Overloading the
tires can overheat them, possibly causing
a blowout.
