WARNING: Never inflate a tire that has been run flat without first removing the tire from the wheel to inspect for damage. A damaged tire can fail during inflation. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

The vehicle may be equipped with a tire that is an all-steel radial. All-steel radial tires utilize steel cords in the sidewalls and also require increased inflation pressures of up to 760 kPa (110 psi). As such, they cannot be treated like normal light truck tires. Tire service, including adjusting tire pressure, must be carried out by personnel trained, supervised and equipped according to OSHA regulations. For example, during any procedure involving tire inflation, the technician or individual must utilize a remote inflation device, and make sure that all persons are at a safe distance.
