The Nevada manual says the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle is listed in the owner's manual or where else on the vehicle?
-
A.
On the sidewall of each tire
-
B.
On the driver's side door jamb Correct
-
C.
Under the trunk lid
-
D.
Inside the fuel filler door
The answer is "On the driver's side door jamb"
The Nevada manual directs you to find the recommended pounds per square inch in the owner's manual or on the driver's side door jamb. The number printed on the tire's sidewall is the maximum the tire can hold, which is a different figure. Confusing the two can lead to over- or under-inflated tires.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. On the sidewall of each tire
The sidewall lists the tire's maximum safe pressure, not the vehicle-specific recommended psi the manual points to. This answer comes from eyeballing the largest number stamped on the tire itself as the target inflation, rather than looking up the vehicle-specific figure the manual sends you to.
C. Under the trunk lid
The manual does not identify the trunk lid as a location for the recommended tire pressure. This answer invents a trunk-lid label the manual never lists as a psi location.
D. Inside the fuel filler door
The manual does not identify the fuel filler door as a location for tire pressure information. This answer confuses fuel-cap or emissions labels with the door-jamb psi location.
