Wheels and Tires

Tire Pressure
Tire pressure greatly affects ve-
hicle handling and stability. Low
pressure may cause tire to deflate
and rotate on wheel. Overpres-
sure may burst the tire. Always
follow recommended pressure.
Since tires are low-pressure types,
a manual pump should be used.
Check pressure when tires are cold
before using the vehicle. Tire pres-
sure changes with temperature and
altitude. Recheck pressure if one of
these conditions has changed.
For your convenience, a pressure
gauge is supplied in tool box.
MINIMUM
MAXIMUM
Although the tires are specifically de-
signed for off-road use, a flat may still
occur. Therefore, it is recommended
to carry a tire pump and a repair kit.
Tire and Wheel Condition
Occasionally, wheel bolts should be
removed to apply anti-seize lubricant
to ease future removal. This is particu-
larly important when vehicle is used in
salt-water environment or in mud. Re-
move one nut at a time, lubricate then
retorque.
Check tires and rims for damage and
wear.
Replace if necessary.
