What to do in an emergency
You may not be able to identify a low
tire by simply looking at it. Always
use a good quality tire pressure
gauge to measure the tire's inflation
pressure. Please note that a tire that
is hot (from being driven) will have a
higher pressure measurement than a
tire that is cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3
hour period.
Allow the tire to cool before measur
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tire is cold before inflating to
the recommended pressure.
TPMS
•The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tire damage
caused by external factors such
as nails or road debris.
•If you feel any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off
the accelerator, apply the
brakes gradually and with light
force, and slowly move to a safe
position off the road.
