Tires: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire pressure should be checked monthly, before any extended trip, and at any other time the tire inflation appears wrong. Tires should be checked
when they are cold. Spare tire inflation should be checked each time the other tires are checked.
Notice: A cold tire is one that has set (not driven) for three hours or more, or that has been driven for less than one mile. Warm tires normally exceed
recommended pressure by 4 to 6 psi (28 to 41 kPa). Do not release air from warm tires to adjust the pressure to the recommended level.

The air valves include a screw-on cap that must be removed before checking tire pressure. Always install this cap after checking or adjusting tire
pressure.
The required tire pressure is:
Front and rear tires: 26 psi (179 kPa)
Full-size spare: 35 psi (248 kPa)
