Maintenance
NOTICE
Warm  tires normally  exceed  rec-
ommended  cold tire  pressures by
Checking tire inflation pressure
Check  your  tires  once  a  month  or
more.
Also, check  the  tire pressure  of the
spare tire.
CAUTION - Tire pressure
Always observe the following:
Check tire  pressure when  the
tires  are  cold.  (After   vehicle
has  been  parked for  at  least
three   hours  or   hasn't  been
driven more  than 1.6 km  (one
mile) since startup.)
•  Check  the  pressure   of  your
spare tire each time you check
the pressure of other tires.
Never  overload  your  vehicle.
Be  careful  not  to overload  a
vehicle  luggage  rack  if   your
vehicle is equipped with one.
Worn, old tires can cause acci-
dents.  If  your  tread  is  badly
worn,  or   if  your   tires   have
been damaged, replace them.
28
to 41  kPa  (4 to  6 psi).  Do  not
release  air   from  warm   tires   to
adjust the pressure or the tires will
be underinflated.
Be sure  to  reinstall the  tire infla-
tion valve caps.  Without the valve
cap, dirt or moisture could get into
the valve  core and cause  air leak-
age.  If   a   valve  cap   is  missing,
install a new  one as soon as  possi-
ble.
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.
