Full Size Spare — If Equipped
The full size spare is for temporary emergency use only. This tire may look like the originally
equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not. This spare tire may have limited
tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use full size spare
tire needs to be replaced. Since it is not the same as your original equipment tire, replace (or
repair) the original equipment tire and reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity.
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped
The limited use spare tire is for temporary emergency use only. This tire is identified by a label
located on the limited use spare wheel. This label contains the driving limitations for this spare.
This tire may look like the original equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is
not. Installation of this limited use spare tire affects vehicle handling. Since it is not the same as
your original equipment tire, replace (or repair) the original equipment tire and reinstall on the
vehicle at the first opportunity.
Limited use spares are for emergency use only. Installation of this limited use spare tire affects

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.
Avoid products or automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or strong alkaline additives or
harsh brushes. These products 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 equivalent is recommended.
