TIRE PRESSURES
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and inflateto the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for
more information regarding tire warnings and
instructions.
WARNING!
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load
capacity for your vehicle . Never overload them.
• 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 plated wheels, should be cleaned
regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
• To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust the following MOPAR® wheel cleaners are recommended or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
• For chrome wheels, use MOPAR® Chrome Cleaner or equivalent.
• For aluminum wheels, use MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner or equivalent.
Dark Vapor Chrome Wheels- If Equipped
• If your vehicle is equipped with Dark Vapor Chrome wheels USE ONLY MILD SOAP AND
WATER WITH A SOFT CLOTH.
• Used on a regular basis this is all that is required to maintain this finish.
