Owner manual

If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on
the metal stem in the center of the tire valve.
Recheck the tire pressure with the tire gage.
Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt
and moisture.
High-Speed Operation
{
WARNING:
Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h (100 mph)
or higher, puts an additional strain on tires.
Sustained high-speed driving causes excessive
heat build up and can cause sudden tire failure.
You could have a crash and you or others could
be killed. Some high-speed rated tires require
inflation pressure adjustment for high speed
operation. When speed limits and road conditions
are such that a vehicle can be driven at high
speeds, make sure the tires are rated for high
speed operation, in excellent condition, and set
to the correct cold tire inflation pressure for the
vehicle load.
Vehicles with P265/70R17 or P275/55R20 size tires
require inflation pressure adjustment when driving the
vehicle at speeds of 100 mph (160 km/h) or higher. Set
the cold tire inflation pressure to 3 psi (20 kPa) above
the recommended cold tire pressure shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
When you end this high‐speed driving, return the tires
to the cold inflation pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See Loading the Vehicle
on
page 5‑29
and Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 6‑72.
Dual Tire Operation
When the vehicle is new, or whenever a wheel, wheel
bolt or wheel nut is replaced, check the wheel nut
torque after 100, 1,000 and 6,000 miles (160, 1 600 and
10 000 km) of driving. For proper torque and wheel nut
tightening information, see Removing the Spare Tire
and Tools on page 6‑92.
The outer tire on a dual wheel setup generally wears
faster than the inner tire. Your tires will wear more
evenly and last longer if you rotate the tires periodically,
see Tire Inspection and Rotation
on page 6‑80 . Also
see Scheduled Maintenance on page 7‑3.
