WARNING!(Continued)
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions.Under-inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in
severe cracking, component separation, or “blow out”. Over-
inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the
road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose
control of your vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can
affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of
vehicle control.
WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
• All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome platedwheels, should be cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to
prevent corrosion.
• To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner or equivalent or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal
polishes. Do not use oven cleaner. These products may damage the
wheel's protective finish. Avoid automatic car washes that use acidic
solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the wheel's protective
finish. Only MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.
