higher than the manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressure

which can be found on either the tire label or certification label which is

located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. The cold inflation

pressure should never be set lower than the recommended pressure on

the tire label or certification label.

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 tire label or certification label.

If you are checking tire pressure when the tire is hot, (i.e. driven more

than 1 mile [1.6 km]), 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.

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 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. Never “bleed” or reduce air

pressure when tires are hot.

2. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire, then firmly press the tire

gauge onto the valve and measure the pressure with the tire gauge.

3. Add enough air to reach the recommended air pressure

Note: If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing 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 require higher inflation pressure than the other

tires. Check the tire label on the B pillar or the edge of the driver’s door

for the recommended spare tire pressure.

6. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other

objects embedded that could poke a hole in the tire and cause an air

leak.

7. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts or bulges.
