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, (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.

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

tires, refer to the Dissimilar spare

wheel and tire assembly

information for a description. Store

and maintain at 60 psi (4.15 bar).

For full-size and dissimilar spare

tires, refer to the Dissimilar spare

wheel and tire assembly

information for a description. Store

and maintain at the higher of the

front and rear inflation pressure as

shown on the Tire Label.

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.
