12-66 Simple inspection and service
1 Inflation pressure check
•
Use an air pressure gauge to check for proper
tire inflation pressure.
If the pressure is incorrect, adjust it to the indi-
cated standard pressure.
• 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.
Standard inflation pressure
• There is a plate affixed to the driver’s door pillar
indicating standard inflation pressure.

WARNING
• Excessively low or high tire pressures not
only give a poor ride but also could cause
cargo to be damaged. Under-inflated or
over-inflated tires are also very dangerous
and can be easily damaged. Moreover, if
the pressure is too low, tires could over-
heat and burst.
• Both the inner and outer tires on dual
wheels should be inflated to the same
pressure.
• You need not increase tire pressure before
high-speed driving.
• Tires should be handled with care due to
their high internal air pressure.
