NOTICE

• It is permissible to add 3 psi to the standard tire pressure specification if colder temperatures are expected soon.

Tires typically loose 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 7°C temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations are expected,

recheck your tire pressure as necessary to keep them properly inflated.

• An air pressure generally decreases, as you drive up to a high-altitude area above sea level. Thus, if you plan to

drive a high-altitude area, check the tire pressures in advance. If necessary, inflate them to a proper level. (Air infla-

tion per altitude : +10 kPa/1 km)

CAUTION

When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.

Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or make it work irregularly.
