How to Check Tire Pressure on Your Chevrolet Cruze
Check cold (parked 3+ hours) with a gauge. The second-generation Cruze (2016-2019, covered here for 2017-2019) uses a uniform 35 PSI front and rear. Inflate to the door-jamb value and the TPMS light clears itself after a short drive — no reset procedure is needed for plain inflation.

What PSI should my spare tire be on a 2017 Chevrolet Cruze?

Does tire pressure change with temperature?
Yes. For every 10°F drop in outside temperature, your tire pressure drops about 1 PSI. This is why TPMS warning lights often come on during the first cold snap of autumn. The opposite is also true — tire pressure increases about 1 PSI per 10°F temperature rise. Always inflate to the recommended 35 PSI when tires are cold.
