WARNING!

• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, 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 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, use MOPAR® 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 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 protec-

tive finish. Only MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.
