If your vehicle has air brakes, the air pressure gage is located above the switchbank in the center of the instrument panel.

This gage shows the air pressure for both your front and rear brake systems.

If the needle on the gage indicates that the air pressure is below 60 to 75 psi (415 to 517 kPa), the low air warning light will come on. An alarm will also sound if this happens.

The yellow pointer shows the pressure available for the front system, while the green pointer shows pressure for the rear. There should be no more than 4 psi (28 kPa) difference showing between the systems.

Don't drive until both pointers are showing at least 115 psi (793 kPa), so you'll have enough air if you need to apply your brakes.
