Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration.

Vibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of-

balance. Proper balancing will reduce vibration and

avoid tire cupping and spotty wear.

SUPPLEMENTAL TIRE PRESSURE INFORMATION

A light load vehicle condition is defined as two passen-

gers {150 lbs (68 kg) each} plus 200 lbs (91kg) of cargo.

Cold tire inflation pressures for a lightly loaded vehicle

will be found on a “Supplemental Tire Pressure Inflation”

label located on the face of the driver’s door or in the Tire

Information Pressures pamphlet in the glove box.

TIRE CHAINS

Use “Class U” chains on Power Wagon models, or other

traction aids that meet SAE Type “U” specifications.

NOTE: Chains must be the proper size for the vehicle,

as recommended by the chain manufacturer.

CAUTION!

To avoid damage to your vehicle, tires or chains, observe the

following precautions:

• Because of limited chain clearance between tires and other

suspension components, it is important that only chains in

good condition are used. Broken chains can cause serious

vehicle damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise

occurs that could suggest chain breakage. Remove the

damaged parts of the chain before further use.

• Install chains as tightly as possible and then retighten after

driving about 1/2 mile (0.8 km).

• Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h).

• Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large bumps,

especially with a loaded vehicle.

• Do not install tire chains on front wheels of 4x2 vehicles.

• Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry pavement.

• Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions on

method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for

usage. Always use the lower suggested operating speed of

the chain manufacturer if different than the speed recom-

mended by the manufacturer.
