1-22 In Brief
The TPMS warning light alerts to a
significant loss in pressure of one of
the vehicle's tires. If the warning
light comes on, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires to the
recommended pressure shown on
the Tire and Loading Information
label. See Vehicle Load Limits on
page 9 12. The warning light will
remain on until the tire pressure is
corrected.
During cooler conditions, the low tire
pressure warning light may appear
when the vehicle is first started and
then turn off. This may be an early
indicator that the tire pressures are
getting low and the tires need to be
inflated to the proper pressure.
The TPMS does not replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. Maintain
the correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor System
on page 10 62.

Coupe, and 427
Convertible)
Checking Engine Oil
This vehicle has a high performance
dry sump lubrication system. This
system operates differently than a
standard engine lubrication system.
See Engine Oil on page 10 13.
You should check the oil level only
after the engine has been
thoroughly warmed up and then
shut off for at least five minutes.
This ensures that the oil level
reading obtained will be accurate.
Jump Starting the Battery
The battery is in the rear of the
vehicle. You do not need to access
the battery for jump starting. There
are remote positive (+) and negative
( ) terminals under the hood for this
purpose. See Battery on page 10 37
and Jump Starting on page 10 75.

Brake Noise
Under certain weather or operating
conditions, occasional brake noise
might be heard with the vehicle's
performance braking system. This
brake system is designed for
superior fade resistance and
consistent operation using high
performance brake pads. Brake
noise is normal and does not affect
system performance. See Braking
on page 9 3.
Car Wash Guidelines
Automatic car washes are not
recommended for this vehicle.
Some car washes cause damage to
the vehicle, the wheels, and the
convertible top, if the vehicle is so
equipped.
If you drive the vehicle through an
automatic car wash that does not
have enough clearance for the
undercarriage and/or wide rear tires
and wheels, you could damage the
vehicle. Verify with the manager of
the car wash that the vehicle will fit
before entering the car wash or use
