Tyre Pressure Placard
The tyre pressure placard shows recommended pressures for the car.
What is Tyre Pressure Placard?
It is in the door frame or fuel flap. It lists values for different loads. Values are for cold tyres. Many placards give separate values for normal load, full load and sometimes high speed. Some cars show recommended pressures in the infotainment system and let you choose the load state for the tyre pressure monitor. Check pressures at least monthly and before long trips.
How it works
Manufacturers set pressures for safety and comfort.
Why it matters for your car
Do not use the maximum pressure on the sidewall. Adjust for load.
