12-66 Simple inspection and service
1 Inflation pressure check
•
Tire pressure should be checked and adjusted
before driving when the tires are still cool. Make
sure that the tire air valve caps are securely fit-
ted.
• You can roughly judge the air pressure from the
form of the tire tread, but need to use an air
gauge for precise measurement. If your vehicle
uses low-profile tires, the air pressure must be
checked using an air gauge.
Properly inflated
Excessively inflated
Insufficiently inflated
If the tires appear incorrectly inflated, make any
air pressure adjustments necessary before driv-
ing.
Standard inflation pressure
• There is a plate affixed to the driver’s door pillar
indicating standard inflation pressure.
