trips. Use a tire gauge to check the tire
inflation pressure, including the spare tire.
Check the tire pressure when tires are cold,
after the vehicle has been parked for at least
three hours or has been driven less than
three miles. (As you drive, the temperature
in the tire warms up, increasing the tire
pressure.) As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure warning light when
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Warning:Improperly inflated
tires can affect handling and can fail suddenly,
possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control.
