Tire Chains (Traction Devices) - Alfa Romeo 4C spider User Manual

CAUTION!
Avoid products or automatic car washes that use
acidic solutions or strong alkaline additives or
harsh brushes. Many aftermarket wheel cleaners
and automatic car washes may damage the
wheel's protective finish. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Only
car wash soap, Mopar Wheel Cleaner or equiva-
lent is recommended.
When cleaning extremely dirty wheels including ex-
cessive brake dust, care must be taken in the selec-
tion of tire and wheel cleaning chemicals and equip-
ment to prevent damage to the wheels. Mopar Wheel
Treatment or Mopar Chrome Cleaner or their equiva-
lent is recommended or select a non-abrasive, non-
acidic cleaner for aluminum or chrome wheels.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle
brush, metal polishes or oven cleaner. These prod-
ucts may damage the wheel's protective finish.
Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty. Only car wash soap, Mopar Wheel
Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.

NOTE:
If you intend parking or storing your vehicle for an
extended period after cleaning the wheels with wheel
cleaner, drive your vehicle and apply the brakes to
remove the water droplets from the brake compo-
nents. This activity will remove the red rust on the
brake rotors and prevent vehicle vibration when brak-
ing.
Dark Vapor Chrome, Black Satin Chrome, or Low
Gloss Clear Coat Wheels
CAUTION!
If your vehicle is equipped with these specialty
wheels, DO NOT USE wheel cleaners, abrasives, or
polishing compounds. They will permanently
damage this finish and such damage is not cov-
ered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. HAND
WASH ONLY USING MILD SOAP AND WATER WITH
A SOFT CLOTH. Used on a regular basis; this is all
that is required to maintain this finish.

Tire Chains (Traction Devices)

Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-to-body
clearance. Follow these recommendations to guard
against damage.
• Traction device must be of proper size for the tire,
as recommended by the traction device manufac-
turer.
• Install on Rear Tires Only.
• Reduced size snow chains with a maximum pro-
jection of 7 mm beyond the tire profile can be
fitted on vehicles equipped with 235/40 R18 rear
tire.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe
the following precautions:
• Because of restricted traction device clearance
between tires and other suspension compo-
nents, it is important that only traction devices
in good condition are used. Broken devices can
cause serious damage. Stop the vehicle imme-
diately if noise occurs that could indicate de-
vice breakage. Remove the damaged parts of
the device before further use.
• Install device as tightly as possible and then
retighten after driving about ½ mile (0.8 km).
• Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and
large bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
