Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label, which is on the
driver’s door shows the correct inflation pressures
for
your tires when they’re cold. “Cold” means your vehicle
has been sitting for
at
least three hours or driven no
more than 1 mile
(1.6
km).
If
you’ll be driving at speeds higher than
100
mph
(160
km/h)
where it is legal, raise the cold inflation
pressure
of
each tire to
35
psi
(240
kPa). When you
end this very high-speed driving, reduce the cold
inflation pressures to those listed on the Tire-Loading
Information label.
NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or
overinflation is all right.
It’s
not.
If
your tires
don’t have enough air (underinflation), you can
get the following:

When to Check
Check your tires once a month or more.

(420
kPa).
