A Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the

vehicle’s center pillar (B-pillar), below the driver’s door

latch. This label shows your vehicle’s original equipment

tires and the correct inﬂation pressures for your tires

when they are cold. The recommended cold tire inﬂation

pressure, shown on the label, is the minimum amount of

air pressure needed to support your vehicle’s maximum

load carrying capacity.

For additional information regarding how much weight

your vehicle can carry, and an example of the tire and

loading information label, see Loading Your Vehicle on

page 4-33. How you load your vehicle affects vehicle

handling and ride comfort, never load your vehicle with

more weight than it was designed to carry.

When to Check

Check your tires once a month or more.

Also, check the tire pressure of the spare tire.

How to Check

Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire

pressure. You cannot tell if your tires are properly inﬂated

simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look properly

inﬂated even when they are underinﬂated. Check the

tire’s inﬂation pressure when the tires are cold. Cold

means your vehicle has been sitting for at least

three hours or driven no more than 1 mile (1.6 km).

Remove the valve cap from the tire valve stem. Press

the tire gage ﬁrmly onto the valve to get a 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 pressure is low, add air until you reach the

recommended amount.

If you overﬁll the tire, release air by pushing on the

metal stem in the center of the tire valve. Recheck

the tire pressure with the tire gage.

Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems.

They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
