SUMMER/THREE-SEASON TIRES

dry conditions.
•Summertiresarenotintendedtobedriveninsnoworonice.
•Summertireshavesignificantlyreducedgripintemperaturesbelow50°F(10°C)
•Usesummertiresonlyinsetsoffour.
NOTE:
Summer tires will not contain the all season designation or mountain/snowflake symbol on
the sidewall of the tire.
WARNING!
Do not use summer tires in snow/ice conditions. You could lose control, resulting in
severe injury or death. Driving too fast for conditions also creates the possibility of loss
of vehicle control.
TIRE PRESSURES
Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and
inflate to 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.
Tire And Loading Information Location(Example)

203
WARNING!
•Overloadingofyourtiresisdangerous.Overloadingcancausetirefailure,affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recom-
mended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
•Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-inflation
increases tire flexing and can result in over-heating and tire failure. 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.
Always drive with each tire inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
SPARE TIRES — IF EQUIPPED
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with Tire Service Kit instead of a spare tire, please refer to “Tire
Service Kit” in “What To Do In Emergencies” on your DVD for further information.
CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take your vehicle through an
automatic car wash with a compact or limited-use temporary spare installed. Damage
to the vehicle may result.
Spare Tire Matching Original Equipped Tire And Wheel — If Equipped
Yo u r v e h i c l e m a y b e e q u i p p e d w i t h a s p a r e t i r e a n d w h e e l e q u i v a l e n t i n l o o k a n d f u n c t i o n
to the original equipment tire and wheel found on the front or rear axle of your vehicle. This
spare tire may be used in the tire rotation for your vehicle. If your vehicle has this option,
refer to an authorized tire dealer for the recommended tire rotation pattern.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped
The compact spare is for temporary emergency use only. You can identify if your vehicle
is equipped with a compact spare by looking at the spare tire description on the Tire and
Loading Information Placard located on the driver’s side door opening or on the sidewall
of the tire. Compact spare tire descriptions begin with the letter “T” or “S” preceding the
size designation. Example: T145/80D18 103M.
T, S = Temporary Spare Tire
Since this tire has limited tread life, the original equipment tire should be repaired (or
replaced) and reinstalled on your vehicle at the first opportunity.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spare
wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare tire. Do not install
more than one compact spare tire and wheel on the vehicle at any given time.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
204
WARNING!
Compact spares are for temporary emergency use only. With these spares, do not drivemore than 50 mph (80 km/h). Temporary use spares have limited tread life. When thetread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to bereplaced. Be sure to follow the warnings, which apply to your spare. Failure to do socould result in spare tire failure and loss of vehicle control.
Full Size Spare — If Equipped
The full size spare is for temporary emergency use only. This tire may look like theoriginally equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not. This spare tiremay have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, thetemporary use full size spare tire needs to be replaced. Since it is not the same as youroriginal equipment tire, replace (or repair) the original equipment tire and reinstall on thevehicle at the first opportunity.
Limited-Use Spare — If Equipped
The limited-use spare tire is for temporary emergency use only. This tire is identified by a
label located on the limited-use spare wheel. This label contains the driving limitations for
this spare. This tire may look like the original equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your
vehicle, but it is not. Installation of this limited-use spare tire affects vehicle handling.
Since it is not the same as your original equipment tire, replace (or repair) the original
equipment tire and reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity.
WARNING!
Limited-use spares are for emergency use only. Installation of this limited-use spare tireaffects vehicle handling. With this tire, do not drive more than the speed listed on thelimit-use spare wheel. Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressures listed on your Tireand Loading Information Placard located on the driver’s side B-Pillar or the rear edge ofthe driver’s side door. Replace (or repair) the original equipment tire at the first opportunityand reinstall it on your vehicle. Failure to do so could result 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 r e m o v e h e a v y s o i l a n d / o r e x c e s s i v e b r a k e d u s t , u s e M O PA R®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 ovencleaner. These products may damage the wheel's protective finish. Avoid automatic carwashes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the wheel'sprotective finish. Only MOPAR®Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.
