The front and rear tire pressure specifica­tions for your vehicle are listed on the Tire Information Label. 80th the front and rear
tires should have the specified tire pres­sure.
Note that the value does not apply to the
compact spare tire, if equipped.
Tire Inspection Inspect your vehicle's tires at least once a
month by performing the following checks:
1) Measure the air pressure with a tire
gauge. Adjust the pressure if neces­sary. Remember to check the spare
tire, too.
A. WARNING
• Air pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold or you may
get inaccurate readings.
• Check the inflation pressure from time to time while inflating the tire gradually, until the specified pres­sure is obtained. • Never underinflate or overinflate the tires.
Underinflation can cause unusual
handling characteristics or can cause the rim to slip on the tire
bead, resulting in an accident or
damage to the tire or rim. Overinflation can cause the tire to burst, resulting in personal injury. Overinflation can also cause unusual handling characteristics
which may result in an accident.

groove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). To help you check this, the tires have molded-in tread wear indicators in the
grooves. When the indicators appear
on the tread surface, the remaining
depth of the tread is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.)
or less and the tire should be replaced. 3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and
damage. Any tires with cracks or other
