2006 DODGE MAGNUM SRT tire pressure

5. Unscrew the valve cap from the valve on the deflated
tire.
6. Screw the filler hose (6) from the sealant bottle (5) on
the tire valve.
7. Insert the power plug (2) into the power point on the
instrument panel.
8. Turn the ignition key to the ON/RUN position.
9. Press the switch (3) on the air pump to 1. The air pump
should start to inflate the tire.
10. After five minutes, the tire should be inflated to at
least 26 psi (1.8 bar) on the pressure gauge (4).
11. If the tire doesn’t inflate to this level, press the air
pump switch (3) to 0, disconnect the TIREFIT system
from the tire, and drive the vehicle back and forth
approximately 30 feet (9.1 m) to distribute the sealant
more evenly within the tire.
12. Attach the air pump hose (1) directly to the tire, press
the switch (3) to 1, and inflate the tire again.NOTE:If a
tire pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar) is not reached after fiveminutes, the tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to
drive the vehicle further, and call for assistance.
13. If a tire pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar) is obtained, press
the air pump switch (3) to 0, turn the ignition switch to
the OFF/LOCK position, and disconnect the TIREFIT
system.
14. Drive the vehicle for about 10 minutes to ensure
optimum distribution of the tire sealant within the tire.
15. Check the pressure in the tire. If the pressure is above
19 psi (1.3 bar), inflate the tire to the pressure indicated
on the tire pressure label on the driver side latch pillar.
16. Have the tire inspected at the earliest opportunity at
an authorized dealer or tire service center.
NOTE:
•
If a pressure of at least 19 psi (1.3 bar) cannot be
maintained in the tire, the tire is too badly damaged.
Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further, and call for
assistance.
254 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping
ability. To reduce this possibility, the following precau-
tions should be observed:
1. Slow down during rainstorms or when roads are
slushy.
2. Slow down if road has standing water or puddles.
3. Replace tires when tread wear indicators first become
visible.
4. Keep tires properly inflated.
5. Maintain sufficient distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front to avoid a collision in a sudden stop.FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it
can often be moved by a rocking motion. Turn your
steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the
front wheels. Then shift back and forth between Reverse
and Drive. Usually the least accelerator pedal pressure to
maintain the rocking motion without spinning the
wheels is most effective.
NOTE:Turn off the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
— if equipped, or Traction Control System (TCS) — if
equipped before rocking the vehicle. Refer to Electronic
Stability Program, or Traction Control System in your
Owner’s Manual for Details.
258 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

Coolant Checks
Check engine coolant (antifreeze) protection every 12
months (before the onset of freezing weather, where
applicable). If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the
system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fresh
coolant. Check the front of the A/C condenser for any
accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty, clean by gently
spraying water from a garden hose vertically down the
face of the condenser.
Check the coolant recovery bottle tubing for brittle rub-
ber, cracking, tears, cuts and tightness of the connection
at the bottle and radiator. Inspect the entire system for
leaks.
With the engine at normal operating temperature (but
not running), check the cooling system pressure cap for
proper vacuum sealing by draining a small amount of
coolant from the radiator drain cock. If the cap is sealing
properly, the engine coolant (antifreeze) will begin to
drain from the coolant recovery bottle. DO NOT RE-
MOVE THE COOLANT PRESSURE CAP WHEN THE
COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT.
Cooling System — Drain, Flush and Refill
At the intervals shown on the Maintenance Schedules,
the system should be drained, flushed and refilled.
If the solution is dirty or contains a considerable amount
of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable cooling
system cleaner. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove
all deposits and chemicals. Properly dispose of old
antifreeze solution.
Selection Of Coolant
Use only the manufacturer’s recommended coolant, refer
to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct
coolant type.

Once a Month
•
Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or
damage.
•Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the terminals
as required.
•Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir and brake
master cylinder, and add as needed.
•Check all lights and all other electrical items for correct
operation.
•Check rubber seals on each side of the radiator for
proper fit.
At Each Oil Change
•
Change the engine oil filter.
•Inspect the exhaust system.
•Inspect the brake hoses.
•Inspect the CV joints and front and rear suspension
components.
•Check the coolant level, hoses, and clamps.
