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.

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 (Part# 04318013) or

equivalent.

• For aluminum wheels, use MOPAR

®

Wheel Cleaner (Part# 04796239AB) or

equivalent.
