Recommended Tire Pressures For Normal Driving - Honda Element 2004 Owner's Manual

Main Menu
Use a gauge to measure the air
pressure at least once a month. Even
tires that are in good condition may
lose one to two psi (10 to 20 kPa, 0.1
to 0.2 kgf/cm ) per month.
Remember to check the spare tire at
the same time.
Check the pressure in the tires when
they are cold. This means the vehicle
has been parked for at least three
hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6
km).
Add or release air, if needed, to
match the recommended cold tire
pressure.

If you check the pressure when the
tires are hot [the vehicle has been
driven several miles (kilometers)],
you will see readings 4 to 6 psi (30 to
40 kPa, 0.3 to 0.4 kgf/cm ) higher
than the cold reading. This is
normal; do not release air to match
the cold pressure.
You should get your own tire
pressure gauge and use it whenever
you check your tire pressures. This
will make it easier for you to tell if a
pressure loss is due to a tire problem
and not due to a variation between
gauges.

for Normal Driving
Front:
32 psi (220 kPa ,

Rear:
34 psi (235 kPa ,
2.4 kgf/cm )
The compact spare tire pressure is:

For convenience, the recommended
tire sizes and cold air pressures are
on a label on the driver's doorjamb.

about your tires, see page
Tubeless tires have some ability to
self-seal if they are punctured. You
should look closely for punctures if a
tire starts losing pressure.
