Wheel And Wheel Trim Care - Chrysler Pacifica 2017 User Manual

M A I N T A I N I N G Y O U R V E H I C L E
It is recommended to replace the two front tires or two rear tires as a pair. Replacing just one tire
can seriously affect your vehicle's handling. If you ever replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel's
specifications match those of the original wheels.
It is recommended you contact your authorized tire dealer or original equipment dealer with any
questions you may have on tire specifications or capability. Failure to use equivalent replacement
tires may adversely affect the safety, handling, and ride of your vehicle.
• Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some
combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and
performance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your
vehicle. This can cause unpredictable handling and stress to steering and suspension
components. You could lose control and have a collision resulting in serious injury or death.
Use only the tire and wheel sizes with load ratings approved for your vehicle.
• Never use a tire with a smaller load index or capacity, other than what was originally
equipped on your vehicle. Using a tire with a smaller load index could result in tire
overloading and failure. You could lose control and have a collision.
• Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in
sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle control.
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and
odometer readings.

Wheel And Wheel Trim Care

All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned
regularly using mild (neutral Ph) soap and water to maintain their luster and to prevent corrosion.
Wash wheels with the same soap solution recommended for the body of the vehicle.
Your wheels are susceptible to deterioration caused by salt, sodium chloride, magnesium chlo-
ride, calcium chloride, etc., and other road chemicals used to melt ice or control dust on dirt roads.
Use a soft cloth or sponge and mild soap to wipe away promptly. Do not use harsh chemicals or
a stiff brush. They can damage the wheel's protective coating that helps keep them from
corroding and tarnishing.
NOTE:
Many aftermarket wheel cleaners contain strong acids or strong alkaline additives that can harm
the wheel surface.
