• If the vehicle has been parked in strong

sunlight, or used in high ambient tempera-

tures, do not reduce the tyre pressures.
Move the vehicle into the shade and allow
the tyres to cool before rechecking the
pressures.
• Check the tyres, including the spare, for
condition and pressure on a weekly basis
and before long trips.
• If the tyre pressures are checked while the
vehicle is inside a protected covered area,
e.g., a garage, and subsequently driven in
lower outdoor temperatures, tyre under-
inflation could occur.
• A slight pressure loss occurs naturally with
time. If this exceeds 2 psi (0.14 bar) per
week, have the cause investigated and
rectified by qualified assistance.
• If it is necessary to check tyre pressures
when the tyres are warm, expect the
pressures to have increased by up to
3 - 4 psi. Do not reduce the tyre pressures
to the cold inflation pressure under these
circumstances. Allow the tyres to cool fully
before adjusting the pressures.

• Do not drive the vehicle with a leaking tyre.
