When to Check

Check your tires once a month or more.

How to Check

Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire

pressure. You can’t tell if your tires are properly inﬂated

simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look

properly inﬂated even when they are underinﬂated.

Remove the valve cap from the tire valve stem.

Press the tire gage ﬁrmly onto the valve to get a

pressure measurement. If the cold tire inﬂation pressure

matches the recommended pressure on the tire and

loading information label, no further adjustment is

necessary. If the inﬂation pressure is low, add air until

you reach the recommended amount.

If you overﬁll the tire, release air by pushing on the

metal stem in the center of the tire valve. Recheck the

tire pressure with the tire gage.

Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems.

They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.

If your vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure

Monitor, you can check tire inﬂation pressures while

driving. After you’ve reached a speed of 15 mph

(24 kmh) or more, press and release the GAGES button

on the Driver Information Center (DIC) until the front

tire pressures are displayed. Then, press and release

the GAGES button for the rear tire pressures. If the

display doesn’t show tire pressure, or if the SERVICE

TIRE MON SYS message appears see your dealer

for service. For more information, see Tire Pressure

Monitor Operation (Except Z06) on page 5-64 and Driver

Information Center (DIC) on page 3-48.
