and cold tire inflation pressu res.
Example: If garage tem peratu re = 68° F (20° C) and the
outsid e tem peratu re = 32° F (0° C) then the cold tire
inflation pressu re shou ld be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equ als 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12° F (7° C) for this
outsid e tem peratu re cond ition.
WARN ING!
High speed drivin g with you r veh icle under load is
dangerou s. The added strain on you r tires could
cause them to fail. You could have a seriou s accid ent.
Do not drive a veh icle load ed to maxim um capacity at
contin uous speed s above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Tire pressu re may increase from 2 to 6 psi (13 to 40 kPa)
during operation. DO NOT red uce this norm al pressu re
buildup or you r tire pressu re will be too low.
Tire Pressures for High-Speed Operation
The manu factu rer advocates driving at safe speed s
within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or cond i-
tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high
speed s, maintaining correct tire inflation pressu re is very
important. Increased tire pressu re and red uced vehicle
