CAUTION
When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the
vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or make them work
irregularly.
✽ NOTICE
- It is permissible to add 21 kPa (3 psi) to the standard tire
pressure specification if colder temperatures are expected
soon.
Tires typically loose 7 kPa (1 psi) for every -11°C (12°F) temperature drop.
If extreme temperature variations are
expected, re-check your tire pressure as necessary to keep them properly
inflated.
- We recommend that when replacing tires, use the same originally
supplied with the vehicles. If not, that affects
driving performance.
- When driving in high altitude grades, it is natural for the
atmospheric pressure to decrease. Therefore, please
check the tire pressure and add more air when necessary.
Additionally required tire air pressure per km above sea level: 10.5 kPa
(1.5 psi) km
