− Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Refer to “Tires – General Information” in “Starting and Operating” for information on tire pressures and for proper tire inflation procedures.
− Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation pressures before trailer usage.
− Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire damage before towing a trailer. Refer to “Tires – General Information” in “Starting and Operating” for information on tread wear indicators and for the proper inspection procedure.
