I recently had a bit of a scare when my tire pressure warning came on during a night highway trip from Toronto to Hamilton. At the first chance I had, I checked the tire appearance and they looked fine but on checking with a pressure gauge I found that the fronts registered at 28psi and the rears at 38psi. This was from the dealer and the manual recommended 33psi on all tires. I have no idea why the dealership would over inflate the rears and under inflate the fronts before they turned the car over to me. Anyway, I adjusted the pressure in all tires to 33psi, reset the computer warning pressure point and everything has been fine since. If you know any reason why the dealership would err in this manner, please advise.
