CHECKING YOUR TIRE’S AIR PRESSURE
Checking your air pressure at least once a month is vital to help your
ti
res perform properly and help you get the best gas mileage possible.
Tires can lose up to 7 kPa (1 psi) per month under normal conditions
and lose up to 7 kPa (1 PSI) per every 9°C (16°F) drop in temperature.
Here are some simple steps on how to check the air pressures in your
tires:
1. Remove the valve stem cap.
2

. Place the end of the tire gauge firmly against the tire’s valve stem.
3
. Read the current pressure displayed on the gauge that is currently
i
n the tire.
4. Increase pressure at this time (if needed) and recheck with your tire
g
auge.
5. Replace the valve stem cap.
6
. Repeat until all of your tires have been checked and adjusted
a
ccordingly.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a safety
system found in most vehicles manufactured after 2005.
Th
ere are pressure sensing transmitters mounted inside of
each tire that sends readings to the central computer in your
vehicle. The TPMS system will alert you when one or more
of your tires are underinflated by 25% or more by turning on
a warning light on your vehicle’s dashboard or Heads Up Display
(HUD) screen. This means that one or more of your tires may have a
low-pressure condition. Follow the instructions in your Owner’s
Manual.
