2013 FIAT FREEMONT oil change

WARNING!
Tires and spare tire should be replaced
af
ter six years, regardless of the remain-
ing tread. Failure to follow this warning can result
in sudden tire failure.You could lose control and
have a collision resulting in serious injury or
death.
Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little
exposure to light as possible. Protect tires from con-
tact with oil, grease, and gasoline.
REPLACEMENT TIRES
The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of
many characteristics. They should be inspected regu-
larly for wear and correct cold tire inflation pressure.
The manufacturer strongly recommends that you use
tires equivalent to the originals in size, quality and
performance when replacement is needed (refer to the
paragraph on “Tread Wear Indicators”). Refer to the
“Tire and Loading Information” placard for the size
designation of your tire. The Load Index and Speed
Symbol for your tire will be found on the original
equipment tire sidewall.
It is recommended to replace the two front tires or
two rear tires as a pair. Replacing just one tire can
seriously affect your vehicle’s handling. If you ever replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifica-
tions match those of the original wheels.
It is recommended you contact your original equip-
ment or an authorized tire dealer with any questions
you may have on tire specifications or capability. Failure
to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely af-
fect the safety, handling, and ride of your vehicle.
NOTE:
Always respect the sizes of tires given in the
Registration Document/Certificate.
WARNING!
 Do
not use a tire, wheel size or rating
other than that specified for your ve-
hicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires
and wheels may change suspension dimensions
and performance characteristics, resulting in
changes to steering, handling, and braking of your
vehicle. This can cause unpredictable handling
and stress to steering and suspension compo-
nents.You could lose control and have a collision
resulting in serious injury or death. Use only the
tire and wheel sizes with load ratings approved
for your vehicle.
