Tire inflation pressure Fig. 91 On the driver door jamb: Location of the tire inflation pressure label. ¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS The correct tire inflation pressure for the factory-installed tires is listed on a label. The factory-installed tires may be summer, winter, or all-season tires. The label ⇒ fig. 91 is on the driver door jamb. Under- or over-inflation significantly shortens the service life of your tires and affects the handling of the vehicle ⇒ . The correct tire pressure is very important, particularly when the vehicle is driven at higher speeds. Incorrect tire pressure causes increased wear and even sudden tire failure and blowouts. Therefore, tire pressure should be checked at least once a month and always before long trips. The specified tire inflation pressure applies to a cold tire. When tires are warm, the pressure will be higher than when the tires are cold. Do not reduce the tire pressure on warm tires to match the required cold tire inflation pressure. The tire inflation pressure would then be too low and could cause sudden tire failure and blowout. Comfort tire pressure For greater ride comfort when operating the vehicle at speeds below 100 mph (160 km/h), you can adjust tire pressures to the lower “Comfort tire pressure” listed in the table, Tire inflation pressure in cold tires, Tire inflation pressure in cold tires. Before operating the vehicle at speeds above 100 mph (160 km/h), you must increase the tire pressures to the higher “Standard” cold tire inflation pressures listed in the table, Tire inflation pressure in cold tires, Tire inflation pressure in cold tires or on the tire inflation pressure label on the driver door jamb , ⇒ . Please remember that the lower “Comfort tire pressure” makes the tire ‘softer’ so that the tire will have a higher rolling resistance. Higher rolling resistance means that the vehicle will have lower fuel economy, increasing the amount of fuel you use and reducing the range of the vehicle when being operated with either the combustion engine or the electric motor. You can increase the cold tire inflation pressure to the “Standard” tire pressure to increase fuel economy and range. Be sure to recalibrate the Tire Pressure Monitoring System using the SET button whenever you change or adjust the cold tire inflation pressures, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Checking tire inflation pressure Always check the tire pressure only on “cold” tires when the vehicle has not been driven more than a couple of miles (kilometers) at low speed within the last 3 hours. x Check tire inflation pressure regularly and on cold tires. Check all the tires, including the compcta spare, if any. In colder climates tire pressure should be checked more often, but only when the tires are cold. Always use an accurate tire pressure gauge.
