including the spare. The placard can be found on the driver’s side door
or door jamb area. If you have questions about understanding your
vehicle’s tire placard, please refer to your owner’s manual or ask a

Checking Your Tire’s Air Pressure
Checking your air pressure at least once a month is vital to help your
tires perform properly and help you get the best gas mileage possible.
Tires can lose up to 7 kPa (1 PSI) per month under normal conditions
and lose up to 7 kPa (1 PSI) per every 9°C (16°F) drop in temperature.
Here are some simple steps on how to check the air pressures in
your tires:1.
Remove the valve stem cap.
2.
Place the end of the tire gauge firmly against the tire’s valve stem.
3.
Read the current pressure displayed on the gauge that is
currently in the tire.
4.
Increase pressure at this time (if needed) and recheck with your
tire gauge.
5.
Replace the valve stem cap.
6.
Repeat until all of your tires have been checked and adjusted
accordingly.
