*The chart above indicates an example of the
change in tire pressure (air) when measured and
adjusted with tire pressure at 778F (258C),
according to the change in outside air tempera-
ture of the modified tire inner pressure.
The tire pressure changes depending on the
outside temperature or altitude. Check the tire
pressure regularly and when the climate condi-
tions change.
WARNING
Keep your tires inflated to the correct
tire pressur e. Driving with low tir e
pressure can damage some powertrain
systems and affect the operation of the
ABS and VDC systems. Low Tire pres-
sure may also cause tire failure and
result in serious personal injury or
death.
. Make sure the tire valve stem cap is installed

inspection is performed with the vehicle

. Secure road wheel balance weights with
aluminum tape or equivalent.
. Check that the wheel nuts are not stripped.
. Make sure the tire has not slipped on the
wheel causing the assembly to be out of
balance. The reference marks on the tire and
wheel should be aligned. If the reference
marks are not aligned, the tire has slipped on
the wheel. Have the wheels/tires reba-
lanced. Make sure the old reference marks
are erased and new reference marks are
applied to the wheel and tire. When instal-
ling new tires on the wheels, make sure new
reference marks are applied to the wheels
and tires.
. Check for the heat deterioration of the
brakes and parts around the brakes.
