Precautions - Overview. Description and Operation

Overview

Refer to: Health and Safety Precautions (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

NOTICE: Do not clean aluminum wheels with steel wool, abrasive cleaners, strong detergents or harsh cleaning agents, as this may damage the wheel finish.

NOTICE: When removing wheel balance weights, use only standard industry tools. To remove clip-on wheel balance weights, use special wheel weight removal pliers. For adhesive-style balance weights, use pliers designed for removing adhesive weights, or a non-metallic scraper tool for adhesive weights. Never use a screwdriver or other sharp metallic tools to remove adhesive wheel weights. If necessary, denatured alcohol can be used to help remove any adhesive residue from the wheel. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in damage to the wheel finish.

Factory-installed tires and wheels are designed to perform satisfactorily at full rated load capacity when inflated to the recommended inflation pressures.

Correct tire pressure and driving technique have a major effect on tire life. Heavy cornering, excessive acceleration and unnecessary hard braking increase tire wear.

To even out tire wear, rotate the tires at the recommended intervals.
