Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt
and moisture.
Wheel Loading
Wheels are stamped with a maximum load and
cold inflation rating. Be sure you do not exceed
these limits.
Dual Tire Operation
When the vehicle is new, check the wheel nut
tightness on all wheels with a torque wrench after
your first 100 miles (160 km) and then 1,000 miles
(1 600 km) after that. Whenever a wheel, wheel bolt
or wheel nut is removed or serviced, repeat the
100 miles (160 km), and then 1,000 mile (1 600 km)
wheel nut tightness check.
See Tightening the Wheel Nuts on page 259 for
wheel nut tightening information and proper torque
values.
{CAUTION:
If you operate your vehicle with a tire
that is badly underinflated, the tire can
overheat. An overheated tire can lose air
suddenly or catch fire. You or others
could be injured. Be sure all tires
(including the spare, if any) are
properly inflated.
See Tires on page 254 and Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 255 for more information on
proper tire inflation.
