Tires need the correct amount of air pressure to operate effectively.
Caution
Neither tire underinflation nor overinflation is good.
Underinflated tires, or tires that do not have enough air, can result in:
Overinflated tires, or tires that have too much air, can result in:
The Tire and Loading Information label on the vehicle indicates the original equipment tires and the correct cold tire inflation pressures. The recommended pressure is the minimum air pressure needed to support the vehicle's maximum load carrying capacity.
For additional information regarding how much weight the vehicle can carry, and an example of the Tire and Loading Information label, see Vehicle Load Limits on page 9-9. How the vehicle is loaded affects vehicle handling and ride comfort. Never load the vehicle with more weight than it was designed to carry.
When to Check
Check the tires once a month or more.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gauge to check the tire pressure. Proper tire inflation cannot be determined by looking at the tire. Check the tire inflation pressure when the tires are cold, meaning the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours or no more than 1.6 km (1 mi).
Remove the valve cap from the tire valve stem. Press the tire gauge firmly onto the valve to get the pressure measurement.
If the cold tire inflation pressure matches the recommended pressure on the Tire and Loading Information label, no further adjustment is necessary.
If the inflation pressure is low, add air until the recommended pressure is reached. If the inflation pressure in high, press on the metal stem in the center of the tire valve to release air.
Re-check the tire pressure with the tire gauge.
Return the valve caps on the valve stems to keep out dirt and moisture and prevent leaks.
Reclining Seatbacks
Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there.
Always push and pull on the seatbacks to be sure they are locked.
To recline the seatback:
Lift the lever.
Move the seatback to the desired p ...
Uniform Tire Quality Grading

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which grades tires by treadwear,
traction, and temperature performance. This applies only to vehicles sold in the
United States. The grades are molded on the s ...
