Towing Requirements — Tires

• Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to the safe

and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Refer to
“Tires – General Information” in “Starting and Oper-
ating” for proper tire inflation procedures.

• Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation pres-

sures 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 proper
inspection procedure.

• When replacing tires, refer to “Tires – General Infor-

vacuum system of your vehicle with that of the trailer.
