2020 DODGE DURANGO warning light

Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including, but
not limited to:
•˜ž›1 riving
style
ï
• Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation pressures can cause uneven
wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear
patterns will reduce tread life, resulting in the need for earlier tire
replacement.
• ‘Ž1 –’•Žœ
driven.
• Performance tires, tires with a speed rating of V or higher, and
Summer tires typically have a reduced tread life. Rotation of these tires
per the vehicle scheduled maintenance is highly recommended.
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless
of the remaining 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.

Replacement Tires
The
tires

new
vehicle
provide
a
balance
of
many
characteristics.

They
should
be
inspected
regularly

The
manufacturer
strongly
recommends
that
you
use

tires

HIGH PERFORMANCE, LOW ASPECT RATIO TIRES
Many new vehicles come equipped from the factory with high perfor-
mance and/or low aspect ratio tires. Generally, these tires provide
increased vehicle handling capability, but may also have numerous
engineering performance trade-offs associated with their designs.
•Low aspect ratio tires, with reduced sidewall height, may be more
susceptible to damage from potholes, road hazards, and other objects
such as curbs. This is true for the wheels as well. Therefore, as with all
other tires, it is important to drive with care and maintain proper
inflation pressure and load conditions. See “Tire Inflation Pressure”
and “Tire Damage, Inspection and Service Life” in this manual.
• Some

sports
cars
and
other
handling
performance
enhanced
vehicles,

including
sedans
and
light
trucks/SUVs,
may
be
originally
equipped

with
high
performance
tires
that
are
more
optimized
for
warmer

weather
use.
Colder,
inter
weather
traction
may
be
reduced
for
these

types
of
tires.
Winter
tires
may
be
recommended
by
the
vehicle

manufactur

er
for
colder
weather
application.
See
“Winter
Tires,”
the

next
section
in
this
manual.
• High performance tires may also wear more quickly, ride more firmly,
and produce more noise during operation.
Consult your vehicle owner ’s manual and tire information placard, or a
qualified tire service professional, for more information and specifics
regarding these types of tires.
WINTER TIRES
WARNING!
Winter
driving
presents
special
challenges
for
vehicle
mobility.
The

use
of
inter
tires
(including
studs
and
chains)—while
improving

traction
performance
in
snow
and
ice—requires
special
care
with

regard
to
acceleration,
braking,
cornering,
and
speed.
It
is
important

to
drive
with
care,
not
only
on
snow
and
ice,
but
on
dry
and
wet

roads
as
well.
BRIDGESTONE® - FIRESTONE®
In
inter
driving
conditions,
vehicle
control
and
safe
operation
under

braking
and
cornering
is
especially
dependent
upon
the
rear
tires.
For

this
reason,
inter
tires
are
best
applied
to
all
wheel
positions.
Some
64

vehicles
have
specific
recommendations
regarding

tire
use;

con-sult
your
vehicle
owner ’s
manual
and
tire
information
placard.
• If

inter
tires
are
to
be
applied
to
the
front
axle
of
any
vehicle,
they
must
also
be
applied
to
the
rear
axle
for
safe
operation.
This
applies
to
all
passenger
cars
and
light
trucks,
including
front
wheel
drive,
4x4,
and


all-wheel-drive
vehicles.
• If


tires
are
to
be
applied
to
the
rear
axle
of
any
vehicle,
it
is
recommended
that
they
also
be
installed
on
the
front
axle.
• It

is
generally
acceptable
to
apply
a
tire
with
a
lower
speed
rating
than
your
original
tires
for
use
in

weather
conditions;
however,
speed
should
be
reduced


accordingly.
All

tires
should
be
the
same
speed
rating.
See
“Tire
Speed
Ratings”
in
this
manual.
•

tires
used
in
warmer,
ž––Ž›
weather
conditions
may
wear

more
rapidly.
• Studded


tires
follow
the
same
recommendations
as
above;
consult
a
qualified
tire
service
professional
for
information
r
egarding
any
seasonal
restrictions.
TIRE MIXING
WARNING!
Driving your vehicle with an improper mix of tires is dangerous.
Your vehicle’s handling characteristics can be seriously affected. You
could have an accident resulting in serious personal injury or death.
Consult your vehicle owner ’s manual and a qualified tire service
professional for proper tire replacement.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING
WARNING!
Driving at high speed is dangerous and can cause a vehicle accident,
including serious personal injury or death.
• Regardless of the speed and handling capabilities of your car and its
tires, a loss of vehicle control can result from exceeding the maximum
speed allowed by law or warranted by traffic, weather, vehicle, or road
conditions.
BRIDGESTONE® - FIRESTONE®

WARNING!
Improper storage can damage your tires in ways that may not be
visible and can lead to a failure resulting in serious personal injury
or death.
The spare tire in your vehicle is intended to be used as a spare when
needed. The spare tire carrier is not intended to be used for long term
storage, except for “temporary use” tires. For more information, see
“Your Spare Tire” and “Radial Tire Rotation” in this manual.

TIRE REGISTRATION
Registration of your tires is an important safety precaution since it
enables the manufacturer to notify you in the event of a recall. When you
purchase replacement tires, the retailer will provide a registration card on
which the tire identification numbers have been recorded; fill in your
name and address on the card and mail it promptly. Some retailers may
submit the registration for you. You do not need to register tires which
come as original equipment on new vehicles—the vehicle and tire
manufacturers handle that for you.

1. ELIGIBILITY
This Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy applies to the original
owner of new Continental brand passenger and light truck (LT) tires
that are the new vehicle original equipment tires bearing the Conti-
nental brand name and D.O.T. Tire Identification Number, operated in
normal service, and used on the same vehicle on which they were
originally installed according to the vehicle manufacturer ’s recom-
mendations.
Tire(s) on any vehicle registered and normally operated outside the
United States and Canada are excluded from eligibility under this
Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy.
2. WHAT IS THE ADJUSTMENT POLICY AND HOW LONG IS IT
APPLICABLE? BASIC COVERAGE:
Eligible Tires are covered by this Warranty for a maximum of 72
months from the date of purchase, determined by the new vehicle
registration date or new vehicle sales invoice showing date of pur-
chase.
Where to Go for Warranty Replacement: Contact the dealer from
where you purchased the vehicle or an alternate authorized Continen-
tal brand tire dealer (Authorized Dealer) to determine the eligible
warranty coverage for your tires and how to proceed from there.
Free Replacement Period: PASS & LT If an eligible Continental brand
PASS or LT tire becomes unserviceable from a warrantable condition,
other than those listed under Section 3, during the first 12 months or
first 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of treadwear (whichever comes first),
it will be replaced with a **comparable new Continental brand tire
FREE OF CHARGE, including mounting and balancing (excluding on
line orders). Owner pays all applicable taxes.

CHECKING YOUR TIRE’S AIR PRESSURE
Checking your air pressure at least once a month is vital to help your tires
perform properly and help you get the best gas mileage possible. Tires
can lose up to 7 kPa (1 psi) per month under normal conditions and lose
up to 7 kPa (1 PSI) per every 9°C (16°F) drop in temperature. Here are
some simple steps on how to check the air pressures in your tires:
1. Remove the valve stem cap.
2. Place the end of the tire gauge firmly against the tire’s valve stem.
3. Read the current pressure displayed on the gauge that is currently inthe tire.
4. Increase pressure at this time (if needed) and recheck with your tire gauge.
5. Replace the valve stem cap.
6. Repeat until all of your tires have been checked and adjusted accordingly.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is a safety system
found in most vehicles manufactured after 2005. There are
pressure sensing transmitters mounted inside of each tire that
sends readings to the central computer (ECU) in your vehicle.
The TPMS system will alert you when one or more of your tires
are underinflated by 25% or more by turning on a warning light on your
vehicle’s dashboard or heads up display (HUD) screen. This means that
one or more of your tires may have a low-pressure condition. Follow the
instructions in your owner ’s manual.
