Tire pressures Tire pressure label - Canada and Mexico only WARNINGS Never drive your vehicle if the tire pressures are incorrect. Under-inflation causes flexing and uneven tire wear. This can lead to sudden tire failure. Over-inflation causes a harsh ride, uneven tire wear and poor handling. Pressure checks should only be carried out when the tires are cold and the vehicle has been stationary for more than three hours. A hot tire, at or below E91695 recommended , is dangerously under-inflated. The recommended tire pressures are listed on a placard label fixed to the end of the left-hand If the vehicle has been parked in side door. These pressures provide optimum strong sunlight or used in high ride and handling characteristics for all normal ambient temperatures, do not reduce operating conditions. the tire pressures. Move the vehicle into the shade and allow the tires to cool before re-checking the pressures. Never exceed the maximum pressure stated on the sidewall. Over-inflation could cause the tire to fail suddenly.

Tire valves Keep the valve caps screwed down firmly, to E91696 prevent water or dirt entering the valve. Check A colder ambient local temperature will reduce the valves for leaks when checking the tire pressure within the tire. An effect is to decrease pressures. sidewall height and to increase tire shoulder wear with the potential for tire failure. Vehicle dynamics could also be adversely affected. In order to minimise this effect, tire pressures can be adjusted to compensate before the start of the journey. Alternatively, tire pressures can be adjusted when the area of lower ambient temperature is reached. In this situation the vehicle must be left in the ambient local temperature for a least one hour before tire pressure is adjusted. To compensate for colder ambient temperatures, tire pressures should be increased by 0.14 bar (2 lbf/in2, 14 kPa) for each 10°C (20°F) decrease. Note: Ensure that correct tire pressures are maintained when moving to areas of differing ambient temperature.

If the vehicle is fully laden with passengers and luggage, the maximum distance that can be completed on a fully deflated tire is approximately 80 km (50 miles). Stop immediately if the tire construction begins to break down, or if the tire dislodges from the wheel rim. Typically, this will be accompanied with excessive vibration.

Inflate the tire to a minimum of 1.8 bar (26 lbf/in², 180 kPa) and a maximum of 3.5 bar (51 lbf/in², 350 kPa). • When pumping the sealant through the tire valve, the pressure may rise up to 6 bar (87 lbf/in², 600 kPa). The pressure will drop again after approximately 30 seconds. 12. During inflation, switch the compressor off briefly, to check the tire pressure using the gauge mounted on the compressor. • It should not take longer than seven minutes to inflate the tire.
