To determine the location of your vehicle’s tire information label, see "Vehicle Loading" in Section 3. The label gives the correct inflation pressures for your tires when they're cold. Cold means your vehicle has been sitting for three hours or more - or, if driven at all, for no more than 1.5 km. The air pressure indicated on the label as "cold" should be maintained for the tires to perform properly. However, do not overload your vehicle. See "Vehicle Loading" in Section 3. Maintaining the cold tire pressure indicated on the tire information label leads to better fuel economy, longer tire life, a more comfortable ride and better overall driveability. Check your tires at least once a month. Don't forget your spare tire. NOTICE Improper tire pressure promotes adverse effects in tire life and vehicle performance. Excessively low inflation causes deflection of the tire and tire overheating which reduces tire strength and thus may damage the tires. It also causes tire overloading, abnormal wear, poor driveability, and poor fuel economy. Excessively high inflation causes abnormal tire wear and poor ride which promotes vehicle damage due to impact from road bumps. . . . 326

AKENG44_Escalade Page 327 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 4 To check and adjust tire pressure: You cannot tell if your tires are properly inflated simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look properly inflated even when they are underinflated. For tire pressure inspection, the use of a quality pocket tire pressure gage is recommended. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve stem. Press the tire gage firmly onto the valve to get a pressure measurement. If the pressure is low, add air until you reach the recommended pressure. If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the center of the tire valve. Recheck the tire pressure. Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture. HIGH SPEED OPERATION CAUTION Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h (100 mph) or higher, puts an additional strain on tires. Sustained high-speed driving causes excessive heat buildup and can cause sudden tire failure. You could crash and you or others could be killed. Some high-speed rated tires require inflation pressure adjustment for high-speed operation. When speed limits and road conditions permit a vehicle to be driven at high speeds, make sure the tires are rated for high-speed operation, are in excellent condition, and are set to the correct cold tire inflation pressure for the vehicle load. – – – – 327 . . .
