CAUTION!

• When installing the integrated power module cover, it is important to

ensure the cover is properly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so
may allow water to get into the integrated power module and possibly
result in a electrical system failure.

• When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the

correct amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than
indicated may result in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a
properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit
that must be corrected.

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, use MOPAR

®

Wheel

Cleaner or equivalent or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
