1 Checking inflation pressure
•
Check the inflation pressure when the tires are
cold before starting driving. Make sure that the
tire air valve caps are securely fitted.
• You can roughly judge the air pressure from the
form of the tire tread, but need to use an air
gauge for precise measurement. An FK model
vehicle uses low-profile tires whose air pressure
must be checked using an air gauge.
Properly inflated
Excessively inflated
Insufficiently inflated
Standard tire inflation pressure
If the tires appear incorrectly inflated, make any
air pressure adjustments necessary before driv-
ing.
• There is a plate affixed to the driver’s door indi-
cating the standard inflation pressures.

WARNING
• Excessively high or low tire pressures not
only give a poor ride but can also cause
damage to the cargo or, more dangerously,
to the tires themselves. Note that if the tire
pressure is too low, the tires will overheat
and could burst dangerously.
• It is not necessary to increase tire pres-
sures for high-speed driving.
• The inner and outer tires on dual wheels
should be inflated to the same pressure.
• Tires should be handled with care due to
their high internal air pressure.
