    Wheels and Tires TIRES Tire Inflation Information WARNING: Always maintain your tires in good condition. Frequently check and maintain correct inflation pressures as specified by tire manufacturers. Inspect periodically for abnormal wear patterns and repair/replace cut or broken tire casings. Always use experienced, trained personnel with proper equipment and correct procedures to mount or remove tires and wheels.
  • Page 250 Wheels and Tires WARNING: An inflated tire and rim can be very dangerous if improperly used, serviced or maintained. To avoid serious injury, never attempt to re-inflate a tire which has been run flat or seriously under-inflated without first removing the tire from the wheel assembly for inspection.
  • Page 251 Wheels and Tires Stay out of the trajectory (1) as indicated in the illustration. WARNING: Do not mount tube type tires on tubeless wheels or tubeless tires on tube type wheels. To do so could result in tire or wheel failure and cause property damage, personal injury or death. Preserving proper inflation pressure is a very important maintenance practice to make sure safe vehicle operation and long life for the tires.
  • Page 252 Wheels and Tires Checking Tire Pressure Always check inflation pressure when tires are cold. Never bleed air from hot tires to relieve normal pressure build-up. Normal increase in pressure due to service conditions is 10–15 psi (69–103 kPa), which is allowable in truck tires.
  • Page 253 Wheels and Tires Proper tire inflation, toe-in adjustment, loads, and road speeds are important factors governing tire mileage, steering ease and maneuverability.

    SYNC® SYNC APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES (IF EQUIPPED) Note: In order for the following features to work, your cellular phone must be compatible with SYNC.

  • Page 337 SYNC® Note: Every phone operates differently. While SYNC 911 Assist works with most cellular phones, some may have trouble using this feature. If a crash deploys an airbag (excludes knee airbags and rear inflatable safety belts [if equipped]) or activates the fuel pump shut-off, your SYNC equipped vehicle may be able to contact emergency services by dialing 911 through a paired and connected Bluetooth-enabled phone.
  • Page 338 SYNC® In the Event of a Crash Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate the fuel pump shut-off (which would activate 911 Assist); however, if 911 Assist is triggered, SYNC tries to contact emergency services. If a connected phone is damaged or loses connection to SYNC, SYNC searches for, and tries to connect to, any available previously paired phone and tries to make the call to 911.
