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, use MOPAR Wheel Cleaner or equiva-
lent 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 pro-
tective finish.Only MOPAR Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.
TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS
NOTE:
The front and rear wheels are different sizes and cannot be used in place of each other.
Rotate the wheels “side-to-side” as shown in the diagram.
The tires on the front and rear of your
vehicle operate at different loads and per-
form different steering, driving, and braking
functions.For these reasons, they wear at
unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely
rotation of tires.The benefits of rotation
are especially worthwhile with aggressive
tread designs such as those on all season
type tires.Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow and wet traction
levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals.The reasons
for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
