Maximum Inflation Pressure is the tire manufacturer’s maximum

permissible pressure or the pressure at which the maximum load

can be carried by the tire. This pressure is normally higher than the

manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressure, which can be found

on the Safety Compliance Certification Label (affixed to either the door

hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the door edge that meets the door-latch

post, next to the driver’s seating position), or Tire 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 Safety

Compliance Certification Label or Tire 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 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.
