Towing Requirements — Tires
•
Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact
spare tire.
•
Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to the safe
and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Refer to
“Tires” in “Servicing And Maintenance” 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” in “Servicing And
Maintenance” for the proper inspection procedure.
•
When replacing tires, refer to “Tires” in “Servicing And
Maintenance” for the proper tire replacement proce-

vacuum system of your vehicle with that of the trailer.
This could cause inadequate braking and possible per-

hydraulic surge actuated brake system, an electronic
brake controller is not required.

Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over
1,000 lbs (453 kg) and required for trailers in excess of
2,000 lbs (907 kg).

when you need them and could have a collision.
•
Towing any trailer will increase your stopping dis-
