Vehicle Care

Vehicle Placard

:

A label

permanently attached to a
vehicle showing the vehicle
capacity weight and the original
equipment tire size and
recommended inflation pressure.

Tire Pressure

Tires need the correct amount of
air pressure to operate
effectively.

{

Warning

Neither tire underinflation nor
overinflation is good.
Underinflated tires, or tires
that do not have enough air,
can result in:

.

Tire overloading and
overheating which could
lead to a blowout.

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

.

Premature or

irregular wear.

.

Poor handling.

.

Reduced fuel economy.

Overinflated tires, or tires that
have too much air, can
result in:

.

Unusual wear.

.

Poor handling.

.

Rough ride.

.

Needless damage from
road hazards.

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. See

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 pressure of the tires
once a month or more. Do not
forget the compact spare, if the
vehicle has one. The cold
compact spare tire pressure
should be at 420 kPa (60 psi).

How to Check

Use a good quality pocket-type
gauge to check tire pressure.
Proper tire inflation cannot be
determined by looking at the tire.
Check the tire inflation pressure
when the tires are cold, meaning
