1. Use of a digital gauge is recommended for accurate measurement of the air pressure.
2. Tire pressure lowers gradually as time passes. Due to this, monthly air pressure inspection is recommended.
3. Perform tire pressure adjustment before driving. (When tires are cold.)
Tire pressure will increase after driving because the internal temperature of the tire is high. If tire pressure is adjusted to specifications when the internal temperature of the tire is high, tire pressure will decrease when the internal temperature of the tire decreases to the same level as ambient temperature. If the tire pressure is lower than the lower-limit pressure, the TPMS warning light may illuminate.
Even though the air pressure is adjusted to specifications, the indicated air pressure may be higher than the specified value when the internal temperature of the tire is higher than ambient temperature. (Example: Air pressure changes approx.10 kPa {0.1 kgf/cm2, 1.5 psi}
when the temperature changes 10 degrees)
CAUTION:
In an area or a season with varying temperatures, tire pressure will change due to ambient temperature change. If the tire pressure is lower than the lower-limit pressure due to low ambient temperature, the TPMS warning light may illuminate. Adjust the pressure when the TPMS warning light illuminates.
The wheel unit air pressure stem is made from aluminum and can be damaged. Do not tilt or use excessive side force when checking air pressure or filling tire with air. Some tire pressure gauges and air filling nozzles have extended tips, which can provide enough leverage to easily bend or break the wheel unit.
Wheel Unit Removal/InstallationMap Light Inspection
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable..
2. Remove the map light..
3. Verify that the continuity between the map light terminals is as indicated
in the table.
If not as indicated in the table, inspect the bulb. If there is no malfunction,
replace the map light.

Removing a Flat Tire
If your vehicle is equipped with a
wheel cover, pry off the wheel cover
with the beveled end of the jack lever.
NOTE
Force the end of the jack lever firmly
between wheel and cover, or removal will
be difficult.
CAUTION
Align the notch on the wheel cover
with the valve ...
Heating
Set the mode selector dial to the
position.
Set the air intake selector to the outside
air position.
Set the temperature control dial to the
hot position.
Set the fan control dial to the desired
speed.
If dehumidified heating is desired, turn
on the air conditioner.
