The front and rear tire pressure specifica-

Both front and rear tires should have the

Tire inspection
Inspect your vehicle's tires at least once a
month or before long trip by performing the
following checks:
1) Measure the air pressure with a tire
gauge. Adjust the pressure if neces-
sary.
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 pres-
57RK074 sure is obtained.
• Never under-inflate or over-inflate
the tires.
Under-inflation 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.
Over-inflation can cause the tire to
burst, resulting in personal injury.
Over-inflation can
unusual handling characteristics
which may result in an accident.
