Jacking And Tire Changing; Run Flat Tires - Srt Models - Dodge DURANGO 2018 User Manual

CAUTION!
• When installing the power distribution
center 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 power distribution center
and possibly result in an electrical system
failure.
• When replacing a blown fuse, it is impor-
tant 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.

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.
• Being under a jacked-up vehicle is danger-
ous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and
fall on you. You could be crushed. Never
put 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.
• Never start or run the engine while the
vehicle is on a jack.
• The jack is designed to be used as a tool for
changing tires only. The jack should not be
used to lift the vehicle for service pur-
poses. The vehicle should be jacked on a
firm level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery
areas.

This vehicle is equipped with "run flat" tires.
Run flat tires allow the vehicle to be driven
approximately 50 miles (80 km) at 55 mph
(88 km/h). Tire service should be obtained to
avoid prolonged run flat feature usage.
WARNING!
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) if the "Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light" is illumi-
nated. Vehicle handling and braking may be
reduced. You could have a collision and be
severely or fatally injured.
