three   hours  or   hasn't  been
driven more  than 1.6 km  (one
mile) since startup.)

the valve  core and cause  air leak-

install new one as soon as possible.
How to check
Use a good quality gage to check tire
pressure.You can not  tell if your tires
are properly  inflated simply by  look-
ing  at  them. Radial  tires  may  look
properly  inflated even  when  they're
underinflated.
Check  the   tire's  inflation  pressure
when  the   tires  are  cold.   -  "Cold"
means your vehicle  has been sitting
for at  least three hours  or driven  no
more than 1.6 km (1 mile).
WARNING - Tire Inflation
Overinflation  or   underinflation
can  reduce  tire  life,   adversely
affect vehicle handling, and lead
to sudden tire failure.This could
result in  loss of  vehicle control
and potential injury..
