..
The correct tire inflation pressure for the factory-installed tires is listed on a label. The factory-installed
tires may be summer, winter, or all-season tires. The label ⇒ꢀfig. 123 is on the driver door jamb.
Under- or over-inflation significantly shortens the service life of your tires and affects the handling of
the vehicle ⇒ꢀ . The correct tire pressure is very important, particularly when the vehicle is driven at
higher speeds. Incorrect tire pressure causes increased wear and even sudden tire failure and
blowouts.
Therefore, tire pressure should be checked at least once a month and always before long trips.
The specified tire inflation pressure applies to a cold tire. When tires are warm, the pressure will be
higher than when the tires are cold.
Do not reduce the tire pressure on warm tires to match the required cold tire inflation pressure. The
tire inflation pressure would then be too low and could cause sudden tire failure and blowout.
