| IMPORTANCE OF TIRE PRESSURE |
Keeping your tires properly inflated has many benefits. Your tires will wear evenly, which prolongs their life and can improve your vehicle’s fuel economy. When correctly inflated, your tires can perform at their best which means better handling, dependable traction and a more comfortable ride for you.
| HOW TO CHECK TIRE PRESURE |
Step-by-step Instruction
1) Find the correct air pressure specification for your vehicle’s tires. This information is printed on a sticker which you will find either on the driver’s side door jamb, in the glove box or in the trunk. Don’t simply go by the pressure amount imprinted on the sidewall of the tire as this specifies the maximum pressure the tire can take.
2) Unscrew the plastic cap on the air valve and be sure not to lose it.
3) Press TPG01 (dial type) or TPG02 (pen type) tire pressure gauge against the air valve and hold it there firmly. If you hear any hissing, air is escaping from the tire and you need to hold the tire pressure gauge to the valve more firmly.
4) Read the measurement on the tire pressure gauge. Remove the gauge and if your tire pressure is correct, replace the plastic cap. If air is required, add more using a tire pump, or one of the air compressors you will find at gas stations. Be careful not to add too much air to your tires.

Rolling resistance increases with underinflated tires, which can reduce fuel mileage by one mpg or more. Low pressure also makes tires wear out faster, and it can lead to tires overheating, risking a dangerous failure at speed.
