this manual.

TIRE PRESSURE

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)

This vehicle is equipped with TPMS. It
monitors tire pressure of all tires ex-
cept the spare. When the low tire
pressure warning light is lit and the
CHECK TIRE PRES (pressure) warning
message is displayed in the odom-
eter, one or more of your tires is sig-
nificantly under-inflated.

TPMS will activate only when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h). Also, this system
may not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example, a flat tire while
driving).

For additional information, refer to
“Low tire pressure warning light” in
the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion, “Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)” in the “Starting and driv-

ing” section, and “Flat tire” in the “In
case of emergency” section of this
manual.

Tire inflation pressure

Check the tire pressures (including
the spare) often and always prior to
long distance trips. The recom-
mended tire pressure specifications
are shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.
certification label or the Tire and
Loading Information label under the
“Cold Tire Pressure” heading. The Tire
and Loading Information label is af-
fixed to the driver side center pillar.
Tire pressures should be checked
regularly because:

∙ Most tires naturally lose air over

time.

∙ Tires can lose air suddenly when

driven over potholes or other ob-
jects or if the vehicle strikes a
curb while parking.

The

tire

pressures

should

checked when the tires are cold. The
tires are considered COLD after the
vehicle has been parked for 3 or
more hours, or driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km) at moderate speeds.

Incorrect tire pressure, including
under inflation, may adversely af-
fect tire life and vehicle handling.

WARNING

∙ Improperly inflated tires can fail

suddenly

and

cause

accident.

∙ The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

(GVWR)

located

the

F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.

certifica-

tion label. The vehicle weight
capacity is indicated on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
Do not load your vehicle beyond
this capacity. Overloading your
vehicle may result in reduced
tire life, unsafe operating condi-
tions due to premature tire fail-
ure, or unfavorable handling
characteristics and could also
lead to a serious accident. Load-
ing beyond the specified capac-
ity may also result in failure of
other vehicle components.

∙ Before taking a long trip, or

whenever you heavily load your
vehicle, use

tire

pressure

gauge to ensure that the tire
pressures are at the specified
level.

∙ For additional information re-

garding tires, refer to “Impor-
tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information”
(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.

Checking tire pressure

1. Remove the valve stem cap from

the tire.

2. Press

the

pressure

gauge

squarely onto the valve stem. Do
not press too hard or force the
valve stem sideways, or air will
escape. If the hissing sound of air
escaping from the tire is heard
while checking the pressure, re-
position the gauge to eliminate
this leakage.

3. Remove the gauge.

4. Read the tire pressure on the

gauge stem and compare to the
specification

shown

the

F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label or the
Tire and Loading Information la-
bel.

5. Add air to the tire as needed. If

too much air is added, press the
core of the valve stem briefly
with the tip of the gauge stem to
release pressure. Recheck the
pressure and add or release air
as needed.

6. Install the valve stem cap.

7. Check the pressure of all other

tires, including the spare.

TIRE LABELING

Federal law requires tire manufac-
turers to place standardized infor-
mation on the sidewall of all tires.
This information identifies and de-
scribes the fundamental character-
istics of the tire and also provides the
Tire Identification Number (TIN) for
safety standard certification. The TIN
can be used to identify the tire in
case of a recall.

䊊

Tire size (example: P215/65R15

95H)

1. P: The “P” indicates the tire is de-

signed for passenger vehicles
(not all tires have this informa-
tion).

2. Three-digit number (215): This

number gives the width in milli-
meters of the tire from sidewall
edge to sidewall edge.

3. Two-digit

number

(65):

This

number, known as the aspect
ratio, gives the tire’s ratio of
height to width.

4. R: The “R” stands for radial.

5. Two-digit number (15): This num-

ber is the wheel or rim diameter
in inches.

6. Two- or three-digit number (95):

This number is the tire’s load in-
dex. It is a measurement of how
much weight each tire can sup-
port. You may not find this infor-
mation on all tires because it is
not required by law.

7. H: Tire speed rating. You should

not drive the vehicle faster than
the tire speed rating.
