GENERAL INFORMATION
All standard equipment brakes are designed to be self-adjusting.
Automatic adjustment, when required, occurs whenever the brakes are
applied and released during forward or reverse operation.
Note:Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal, continuous
grinding or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be
worn out and should be inspected by an authorized dealer. If the vehicle
has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking,
the vehicle should be inspected by an authorized dealer.
Know the required stopping distances for all driving conditions that may
be encountered. For longer brake lining life, take full advantage of engine
braking power when coming to a stop.
WARNING:Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake
pedal. This results in abnormally high brake temperatures,
excessive lining wear and increased stopping distances.
Before descending a long or steep hill, shift to a lower gear and avoid
continuous application of the brakes. Normally, choose the same gear to
descend the hill that you use to ascend the hill.
WARNING:Continuous application of the brakes causes the
brakes to overheat, resulting in a temporary loss of braking.
See theInstrument Clusterchapter for information on the
brake system warning light.
Wet brakes result in reduced braking efficiency. Gently press the brake
pedal a few times when driving from a car wash or standing water to dry
the brakes.
If Brakes Do Not Grip Well
•If you have been driving through deep water, gently apply the brakes
several times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
•Let the brakes cool if you have been using them excessively, as in
mountain driving or after several fast, high-speed stops.
•Check brake adjustment.
•Check brake linings for excessive wear.
•Check system air pressure on vehicles equipped with air brakes.

Proper tire inflation, toe-in adjustment, loads, and road speeds are
important factors governing tire mileage, steering ease and
maneuverability.
Tire Loading
WARNING:Loading tires beyond their rated capacity decreases
tire life requiring more frequent replacement of tires. Overloading
creates an unsafe condition that may result in sudden air loss from a
tire failure resulting in an accident that could cause property damage,
personal injury or death.
Note:Your GAW/GVW rating is correct at the time of your vehicle
production, and reflects the exact rating of the tires specified. When
replacing tires, make sure that the replacement tire load rating (listed in
pounds and kilograms on the tire sidewall) is the same or higher than
the tire that is removed. Failure to do so adversely affects maximum load
carrying capacity. Tires with the same size specification do not always
have the same load specification.
Matching Tires
Dual Tires:Dual tires should be matched using tires of equivalent size.
Tires which differ more than
14inch (6 millimeters) in diameter or34inch (19 millimeters) in circumference should not be mounted on the
same dual wheel assembly.
Mixing:Never mix bias and radial tires on this vehicle. Never mix
different tire sizes or constructions on the same axle.
Rotation:
Rotation is always advisable:
•If front (steering) axle tires become irregularly worn, move to rear
position.
•In a dual assembly, reverse the position of the tires if one tire wears
much faster than its mate.
•On the drive axle, if heel and toe wear or alternate lug wear occurs,
rotating the tires from one end of the axle to the other end of the
axle may help even out this wear.
Rotation may not advisable:
•Front (Steering) Axle:Tires must be removed when tread is worn
to 4/32 inch (3 millimeters) or less. Retread or rotate worn tires to
drive position. Retreaded tires are not recommended to be used on
steering axles.
•Rear Axles:Tires must be removed when tread is worn to 2/32 inch
(2 millimeters).
