Note:
When weather temperature changes occur,
tire inflation pressures also change. A 10°F (6°C)
temperature drop can cause a corresponding drop
of 1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure. Check your
tire pressures frequently and adjust them to the
proper pressure which can be found on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label.
To check the pressure in your tire(s):
1. Make sure the tires are cool, meaning they are not
hot from driving even a mile.
Note:
If you are checking tire pressure when the
tire is hot, (for example, driven more than 1 mile [1.6
kilometers]), never bleed or reduce air pressure.
The tires are hot from driving and it is normal for
pressures to increase above recommended cold
pressures. A hot tire at or below recommended
cold inflation pressure could be significantly under-
inflated.
Note:
If you have to drive a distance to get air for
your tire(s), check and record the tire pressure
first and add the appropriate air pressure when you
get to the pump. It is normal for tires to heat up and
the air pressure inside to go up as you drive.
2. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire,
then firmly press the tire gauge onto the valve and
measure the pressure.
3. Add enough air to reach the recommended air
pressure.
Note:
If you overfill the tire, release air by pressing
on the metal stem in the center of the valve. Then
recheck the pressure with your tire gauge.
4. Replace the valve cap.
5. Repeat this procedure for each tire, including the
spare.
Note:
Some spare tires operate at a higher inflation
pressure than the other tires. For T type mini-spare
