How is Tire Pressure Checked?

Tire pressure can affect your car’s handling and fuel efficiency it needs to be right. This is how to check it.

The recommended tire inflation pressures are on the tire information label on the driver-side B-pillar.  Check all tire pressures when they are cold, at least once every two weeks. 

Checking your tire pressure is easy. And that’s good news because it’s also really important. If you’re not sure how to check the pressures correctly, look no further than this short video. 

Check all tire pressures, including the spare, when they are cold, at least once every two weeks.

Note: Remove the spare wheel from the spare wheel well to check the tire pressure.

Inflating the Tires

Inflate your tires to the recommended inflation pressure even if it is less than the maximum inflation pressure information found on the tire. You can find the tire label with the recommended tire inflation pressure next to the tire size on the B-pillar or the edge of the driver door.

The recommended tire inflation pressure is also found on the Safety Compliance Certification Label, affixed to either the door hinge pillar, door latch post, or the door edge that meets the door latch on the B-pillar, or on the edge of the driver door.

Failure to follow the tire pressure recommendations can cause uneven tread wear patterns and adversely affect the way your vehicle handles.
