Removing the “boom”
If a resonance/booming sound occurs with only 
the rear windows open, lowering a front 
window about an inch (2.5 cm) will change the 
frequency of the air volume moving in/out of 
the vehicle and thus lessen or remove the 
booming sound.

Tire Pressures
Air pressure naturally increases in warm tires (after the vehicle has been driven for a while). if you 
have to check warm tires, you should expect the pressures to have increased between 30 and 40 kPa, 
(0.28 and 0.41 bar or 4 and 6 PSI). In this circumstance, NEVER let air out of the tires in order to 
match the recommended pressures.
NOTE: For more detailed information, see ‘TIRE PRESSURES’, page 264.
