Tires: Procedures
Cleaning
TIRE CLEANING
Before delivery of a vehicle, remove the protective coating on the tires with white sidewalls or raised white letters. To remove the protective coating,
apply warm water and let it soak for a few minutes. Afterwards, scrub the coating away with a soft bristle brush. Steam cleaning may also be used to
remove the coating.
CAUTION: DO NOT use gasoline, mineral oil, oil-based solvent or a wire brush for cleaning.
Tire Inflation Pressures
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES
The specified tire pressures have been chosen to provide safe operation, vehicle stability, and a smooth ride. The proper tire pressure specification can be
found on the Tire And Loading Information Label provided with the vehicle (usually on the driver's door opening (B-pillar) or rear shutface of driver's
door).
A quality air pressure gauge is recommended to check tire air pressure. Tire pressure should be checked cold once per month. Check tire pressure more
frequently when the weather temperature varies widely. Tire pressure will decrease when the outdoor temperature drops. After checking the air pressure,
replace valve cap finger tight.
Inflation pressures specified on the Tire Inflation Pressure Label are always the cold inflation pressure of the tire. Cold inflation pressure is obtained
after the vehicle has not been operated for at least 3 hours, or the vehicle is driven less than one mile after being inoperative for 3 hours. Tire inflation
pressures may increase from 2 to 6 pounds per square inch (psi) during operation. Do not reduce this normal pressure buildup.
Improper inflation can cause:
-
Uneven wear patterns
-
Reduced tread life
-
Reduced fuel economy
-
Unsatisfactory ride
-
The vehicle to drift.
WARNING: Over Or Under Inflated Tires Can Affect Vehicle Handling. The Tire Can Fail Suddenly, Resulting In Loss Of Vehicle Control.
Under inflation causes rapid shoulder wear, tire flexing, and can result in tire failure (1).
