WELCOME FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC

Congratulations on selecting your new Chrysler Group LLC vehicle. Be assured that it represents precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high quality - all essentials that are traditional to our vehicles.

This guide illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipment that are either standard or optional on this vehicle. This guide may also include a description of features and equipment that are no longer available or were not ordered on this vehicle. Please disregard any features and equipment described in this guide that are not available on this vehicle. Chrysler Group LLC reserves the right to make changes in design and specifications and/or make additions to or improvements to its products without imposing any obligation upon itself to install them on products previously manufactured.

For complete owner information, refer to the DVD in the owner’s kit provided at the time of new vehicle purchase. For your convenience, the information contained on the DVD may also be printed and saved for future reference.

With respect to any Vehicles Sold in Canada, the name Chrysler Group LLC shall be deemed to be deleted and the name Chrysler Canada Inc. used in substitution therefore.

Driving And Alcohol

Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.

Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.

WARNING!

Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.

GETTING STARTED

WARNING!

• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon

Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled.

• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start

System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or death.

SEAT BELT

• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

WARNING!

In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly.

9

GETTING STARTED

CHILD RESTRAINTS

• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.

WARNING!

• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child’s size.

• Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position.

Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System

• Your vehicle’s second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for

CHildren.

• The two rear seating positions have lower anchorages that are capable of accommodating LATCH-compatible child seats having flexible, webbing mounted lower attachments or fixed lower attachments.

• The rear seat lower anchorages are round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback. They are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint. You will easily feel them if you run your finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion surfaces.

• The top tether strap anchorages are located in the trunk behind the rear seatback.

The access ports to the top tether anchorages are directly behind the seat headrests under a plastic cover.

• Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily.

• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seat cover material.

• If lowered, raise the convertible top.

NOTE: The convertible top must be in the UP position to access the tether anchor.

10

GETTING STARTED

• Open the access port cover behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint.

• Push the tether strap and hook through the access port and down into the trunk.

NOTE: Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path from the child seat to the anchor.

• From inside the trunk, open the access cover on the carpet covering the back of the seat and attach the tether strap hook to the anchor.

• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.

WARNING!

• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed.

Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.

• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts

• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle.

• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.

• If lowered, raise the convertible top.

11

GETTING STARTED

NOTE: The convertible top must be in the UP position to access the tether anchor.

• Open the access port cover behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint. The access ports to the top tether anchorages are directly behind the seat headrests under a plastic cover.

• Push the tether strap and hook through the access port and down into the trunk.

NOTE: Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path from the child seat to the anchor.

• From inside the trunk, open the access cover on the carpet covering the back of the seat and attach the tether strap hook to the anchor.

• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

FRONT SEATS

Recliner

• Lift the recliner lever located on the outboard side of the seat, lean back and release at the desired position.

WARNING!

Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

12

Lumbar Support

GETTING STARTED

• The lumbar control lever is on the inboard side of the seatback. Rotate the lumbar lever downward to increase the lumbar support or upward to decrease the lumbar support as desired.

Power Seat

• The power seat switch, located on the outboard side of the seat near the floor, controls forward/back, up/down, and tilt adjustment.

WARNING!

Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted, and you could be injured. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.

CAUTION!

DO NOT place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it may cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s path.

13

GETTING STARTED

Heated Seats

• The controls for the front heated seats are located in the center console below the climate controls.

• Press the switch once to select High-level heating. Press the switch a second time to select Low-level heating. Press the switch a third time to shut the heating elements

Off.

WARNING!

• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other physical conditions must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.

• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of the seat.

CAUTION!

Repeated overheating of the seat could damage the heating element and/or degrade the material of the seat.

Easy Entry Lever

• The Easy Entry lever is located on the upper seat belt anchor cover.

• On manual passenger seats, pulling the lever upward will move the seat and seatback forward. When returning the seat to its normal position, the memory feature restores the seat position and seatback recline position to their current settings.

• On power seats, pulling the lever upward will move the seatback forward.

• Pull upward on the lever to lock the column firmly in place.

WARNING!

Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. The tilt/telescoping adjustment must be locked while driving.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS

- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Malfunction Indicator

Light

• If the “ESC Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles

(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you drive to the nearest Service Center as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.

• The “ESC Malfunction Indicator Light” starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes active. If the light begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions. The light also flashes when TCS is active. To improve the vehicle’s traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESC system to

Partial Off mode by momentarily pressing the ESC Off switch.

- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light

• A Tire Pressure Monitoring Light and a “low tire” message will display in your instrument cluster along with an audible chime if one or more of your vehicle’s four road tires are significantly under-inflated.

• Check the inflation pressure of each tire 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. The

TPMS light should not be used as a tire pressure gauge when adjusting your tire pressure.

• It is recommended that you check the tire pressure in the morning when tires are cool; inflate each tire to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. The light will turn off after your vehicle’s tire pressures are properly inflated and the pressure has been recognized. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) before the light will turn off.

40


• Temperature changes can affect tire pressure, causing the TPMS light to turn on.

Tire pressures will also increase as the vehicle is driven – this is normal and you should not adjust for this increased pressure.

• Driving on under-inflated tires reduces your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and tire tread life. If a spare tire is in use on the vehicle, the TPMS light may turn on.

- Engine Temperature Warning Light

• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.

• If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into

NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.

• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.

Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealership for service if your vehicle overheats.

BRAKE - Brake Warning Light

• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the parking brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an

Anti-Lock Brake System problem.

• We recommend you drive to the nearest Service Center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident.

Have the vehicle checked immediately.

41


- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and not require towing.

• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible if this occurs.

- Charging System Light

• This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system.

• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Oil Pressure Warning Light

• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four minutes when this light turns on.

• We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light

• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).

• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recommend you drive to the nearest Service Center and have the system serviced as soon as possible.

- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light

• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.

• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the PARK position; the light should turn off.

• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing.

42


- Transmission Temperature Warning Light

• This light indicates that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this light turns on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle, with the transmission in NEUTRAL, until the light turns off. Once the light turns off, you may continue to drive normally.

- Airbag Warning Light

• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recommend you drive to the nearest Service Center and have the system serviced as soon as possible.

Fuel Cap/Loose Gas Cap Message

• If a “gas cap” message (shown as gASCAP) appears, tighten the gas cap until a

“clicking” sound is heard.

• Press the odometer reset button to turn the message off.

• If the message continues to appear for more than three days after tightening the gas cap, see your authorized dealer.

Oil Change Indicator

Message

• If an “oil change” message (shown as CHAngE OIL) appears and a single chime sounds, it is time for your next required oil change.

Resetting The Light After Servicing

• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start engine).

• Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds.

• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.

43


IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the appropriate action.

• On the highways — slow down.

• In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.

NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition:

• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.

• You can also turn the Temperature Control to maximum heat, the Mode Control to floor and the Fan Control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.

• If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.

• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.

Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately, and call for service.

WARNING!

You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.

Engine Oil Overheating — 2.4L Gas

• On hot days the engine oil temperature may become too hot during sustained high-speed driving or if towing a trailer up long grades. If this happens, a HOTOIL message will flash in the odometer and the vehicle speed will be reduced to

48 mph (77 km/h) maximum until the engine oil temperature is reduced.

NOTE: Although the maximum vehicle speed is reduced to 48 mph (77 km/h), you may reduce vehicle speed further as needed. Once the engine oil temperature is reduced, you may continue to drive normally.

44


JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING

WARNING!

• Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic.

Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the wheel.

• Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You could be crushed. Never get any part of your body under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service center where it can be raised on a lift.

• The jack is designed to use as a tool for changing tires only. The jack should not be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes. The vehicle should be jacked on a firm, level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.

45


Jack Location

• The jack and jack-handle are stowed under the load floor in the trunk.

Spare Tire Stowage

• The compact spare tire is stowed under the rear load floor in the trunk.

• To remove the spare tire, lift up the load floor cover and remove the hold down.

Preparations For Jacking

• Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.

WARNING!

Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic.

Pull far enough off the road to avoid being hit when operating the jack or changing the wheel.

• Set the parking brake and shift the automatic transmission into PARK.

• Turn the ignition to LOCK and turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.

46

Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions

WARNING!

Carefully follow these tire changing procedures to help prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle: Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.

• Remove the scissors jack and lug wrench from the spare wheel as an assembly.

Turn the jack screw to the left to loosen the lug wrench, and remove the wrench from the jack assembly.

NOTE: The jack handle attaches to the side of the jack with two attachment points.

When the jack is partially expanded, the tension between the two attachment points holds the jack handle in place.

• Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them to the left one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.

• Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the extension, then to the lug wrench.

47


• Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange.

• Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tire.

WARNING!

Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable and cause an accident. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the tire.

• Remove the lug nuts, wheel cover (if equipped) and wheel.

• Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward the wheel. Do NOT attempt to install a center cap or wheel cover on the compact spare. Lightly tighten the lug nuts clockwise. To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.

• Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left, and remove the jack and wheel blocks.

48


• Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening for increased leverage. Alternate nuts until each one has been tightened twice. The correct wheel nut tightness is 100 ft lbs (135 N•m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station.

WARNING!

A loose tire or jack, thrown forward in a collision or hard stop, could endanger the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places provided.

• Secure the tire, jack and tools in their proper locations.

49


JUMP-STARTING

• If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack.

• Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures in this section carefully.

• Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable from the remote positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.

• Reinstall the protective cover over the remote positive (+) battery post of the discharged vehicle.

• If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the battery and charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE

• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels. Then move the shift lever back and forth between REVERSE and

DRIVE. Using minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels, is most effective.

NOTE: To improve the vehicle’s traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to “Partial

Off” mode by momentarily pressing the ESC Off switch. For further information on ESC, refer to the Owner’s Manual on the DVD.

WARNING!

Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck. Do not let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

CAUTION!

• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between 1st and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result.

• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).

54


EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)

• This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;

• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was traveling.

• This data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which a crash and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) is recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.

• To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

55


OPENING THE HOOD

• Pull the release lever located below the instrument panel and in front of the driver’s door.

• Raise the hood and locate the safety latch, in the middle of the hood opening.

• Move the safety latch while lifting the hood at the same time.

• Insert the support rod into the slot on the hood.

• To close the hood, remove the support rod and place it in the retaining clip, then lower the hood slowly.

WARNING!

Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully latched, it could open when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.

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 on the life of tires.

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.

WARNING!

Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. 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.

66


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 wheels protective finish. Avoid automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the wheels protective finish. Only MOPAR

®

Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.

WARNING!

(Continued)

• Tires should be inspected regularly by a qualified technician for signs of damage, such as punctures, impacts, underinflation or overloading.

• Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts, curbing, impacts or partial bead unseating.

Some fitment causes for air loss are:

• Incomplete bead seating.

• Bead tearing caused by a machine tool due to insufficient lubrication or improper adjustment.

• Leaking valve core or rubber valve components (these should be replaced when problems are detected and whenever tires are replaced).

• Tire failure due to improper repairs.

• See Rubber Manufacturer’s

Association (RMA) established repair procedures at www.rma.org

for information on proper repair procedures. Never perform a temporary repair or use an inner tube as a substitute for a proper repair. Only qualified persons should repair tires.

• Explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting.

• Only specially trained persons should mount tires.

• Failure to mount tires on approved rims.

• Failure to deflate single or dual assemblies completely before demounting.

CONSUMER ASSISTANCE

Using Lift Kits

• Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can cause instability or loss of control. When changing tire sizes, always consult an installer for optimum rim width and carefully check vehicle/tire clearances.

Check Your Tires For Damage

• Frequent (at least monthly) inspection of your tires for signs of damage, uneven tread wear and their general condition is important for safety. Impacts, penetrations, cracks, knots, bulges or air loss always require tire removal and expert inspection.

Tire Service Life

• The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including, but not limited to, your driving style, tire pressure and distance driven.

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 an accident resulting in serious injury or death.

• Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to the light as possible.

• Protect tires from contact with oil, grease, and gasoline.

NOTE: All tire warranties are made by the tire manufacturer. Tires are not covered under your Chrysler New

Vehicle Limited Warranty.
