Tires: Procedures
Cleaning
CLEANING - TIRES
Before delivery of a vehicle, remove the protective coating on the tires with white sidewalls or raised white letters. To remove the protective coating,
apply warm water and let it soak for a few minutes. Afterwards, scrub the coating away with a soft bristle brush. Steam cleaning may also be used to
remove the coating.
CAUTION: DO NOT use gasoline, mineral oil, oil based solvent or a wire brush for cleaning.
Tire Inflation Pressures
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES
The specified tire pressures have been chosen to provide safe operation, vehicle stability, and a smooth ride. The proper tire pressure specification can be
found on the Tire Inflation Pressure Label provided with the vehicle (usually on the rear face of the driver's door).
A quality air pressure gauge is recommended to check tire air pressure. Tire pressure should be checked cold once per month. Check tire pressure more
frequently when the weather temperature varies widely. Tire pressure will decrease when the outdoor temperature drops. After checking the air pressure,
replace valve cap finger tight.
Inflation pressures specified on the Tire Inflation Pressure Label are always the cold inflation pressure of the tire. Cold inflation pressure is obtained
after the vehicle has not been operated for at least 3 hours, or the vehicle is driven less than one mile after being inoperative for 3 hours. Tire inflation
pressures may increase from 2 to 6 pounds per square inch (psi) during operation. Do not reduce this normal pressure buildup.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE PRESSURE FOR HIGH SPEED OPERATION
Daimler Chrysler Corporation advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits allow the vehicle to be driven at high
speeds, correct tire inflation pressure is very important. Vehicles loaded to maximum capacity should not be driven at continuous speeds over 120 km/h
(75 mph). Never exceed the maximum speed capacity of the tire.
