When to Check
Check your tires once a month
or more. Do not forget to check
the compact spare tire, if the
vehicle has one. It should be at
60 psi (420 kPa). For additional
information regarding the
compact spare tire, seeCompact
Spare Tire on page 5-83.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type
gage to check tire pressure.
You cannot tell if your tires are
properly in ated simply by
looking at them. Radial tires may
look properly in ated even when
they are under-in ated. Check
the tire’s in ation pressure when
the tires are cold. Cold means
your vehicle has been sitting for
at least three hours or driven no
more than 1 mile (1.6 km).Remove the valve cap from
the tire valve stem. Press the
tire gage rmly onto the valve
to get a pressure measurement.
If the cold tire in ation pressure
matches the recommended
pressure on the Tire and Loading
Information label, no further
adjustment is necessary. If the
in ation pressure is low, add air
until you reach the recommended
amount.
If you over ll the tire, release
air by pushing on the metal stem
in the center of the tire valve.
Re-check the tire pressure with
the tire gage.
Be sure to put the valve caps
back on the valve stems.
They help prevent leaks by
keeping out dirt and moisture.Tire Pressure Monitor
System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) uses radio and sensor
technology to check tire pressure
levels. The TPMS sensors monitor
the air pressure in your vehicle’s tires
and transmit tire pressure readings
to a receiver located in the vehicle.
Each tire, including the spare
(if provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and in ated to the
in ation pressure recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire in ation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire in ation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire
in ation pressure for those tires.)

Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation
This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The TPMS is designed to warn the
driver when a low tire pressure
condition exists. TPMS sensors are
mounted onto each tire and wheel
assembly, excluding the spare tire
and wheel assembly, if the vehicle
has one. The TPMS sensors monitor
the air pressure in the vehicle’s tires
and transmits the tire pressure
readings to a receiver located in the
vehicle.
