The preferred interval for checking the tire inflation pressure, however, is before each trip. The tire inflation pressures specified either on the tire and loading information placard or on the tire inflation pressure placard on the driver’s door B-pillar are always cold tire inflation pressures. Check and adjust the tire inflation pressure when the tires are cold. Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at an ambient temperature of approximately 68°F (20°C). The cold tire inflation pressure must not exceed the maximum tire inflation pressure molded into the tire side wall, see "Tire labeling" ( page 382). If you check the tire inflation pressure when the tires are warm (the vehicle has been driven for several miles (kilometers) or sitting less than 3 hours), the reading will be higher than the cold reading. This is normal. Do not let air out to match the specified cold tire inflation pressure. Otherwise, the tire will be underinflated. 4 365
