TIMING BELT The timing belt should be replaced with a new one at the mileage specified on the scheduled maintenance chart.
WARNING!
Driving with tires that are worn or improperly inflated can result in a collision, and serious or fatal injury.
Tire inflation pressures Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Three primary areas are affected by improper tire pressure: 1. Safety Under-inflation increases tire flexing and can result in tire failure. Over-inflation results in a tire losing its ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and potholes could cause tire damage that may result in tire failure. 2. Economy Improper inflation pressures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread life, resulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Under-inflation also increases tire rolling resistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
3. Ride comfort and vehicle stability Proper tire inflation pressures contribute to the excellent ride quality built into your vehicle. Over-inflation pro- duces an uncomfortable and jarring ride. Under-inflation can produce a feeling of sluggish re- sponse. Unequal unpredictable vehicle response to steering maneuvers. The proper tire pressure for your vehicle is listed on a placard attached near the door sill striker on the driver’s door. The recommended inflation pressures should be followed when the specified tires are installed.

The pressures should be checked and adjusted, if neces- sary, at least once a month. Tire pressures should be checked more often when weather temperatures vary widely, because tire pressures vary withMAINTENANCE 329
outdoor temperatures. Inflation pressures specified on the placard are always “cold inflation pressure”. Cold inflation pressure can be measured after the vehicle has been stationary for at least three hours or driven less than one mile (1.6 km) after being stationary for three hours. Cold inflation pressure must not exceed the maximum values molded into the tire sidewall. After driving sev- eral miles, tire inflation pressure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 kPa) over the cold inflation pressure; do NOT let air out of the tires to match the specified cold pressure, or your tires will be underinflated. Check your tires each time you refuel. If one tire looks lower than the others, check the tire inflation pressure for all of them. The following precautions also should be observed: 1. Keep your tires inflated to the pressures that are recommended. (See the tire and loading information placard attached on the latch on the driver’s door.) 2. Stay within the load limits that are recommended.
330 MAINTENANCE
3. Make sure that the weight of your vehicle load is evenly distributed. 4. Drive at safe speeds. 5. After the tire inflation pressure has been adjusted, check the tires for damage and air leaks. Be sure to replace the rubber caps on the valve stems. Radial ply tires Radial ply tires provide improved tread life, road hazard resistance and smoother high speed ride. The radial ply factory-installed tires on this vehicle are of belted con- struction and are selected to complement the ride and handling characteristics of your vehicle. Radial ply tires have the same load carrying capacity as bias or bias-belted tires of the same letter size, and use the same recommended inflation pressures. Mixing of radial ply tires with bias or bias-belted tires is not recommended. Combining radial ply and bias or bias-belted tires on one vehicle will negatively affect vehicle handling. It is recommended that radial ply tires should always be used as a set of four.
As longer wearing tires can be more susceptible to irregular tread wear, it is very important to follow the tire rotation interval shown in the section “Tire rotation” to achieve full tread life potential in these tires. Cuts and punctures in radial ply tires are repairable only in the tread area, because of sidewall flexing. Consult your tire dealer for radial ply tire repairs. Tire pressure for sustained high-speed driving For sustained high-speed driving, increase inflation pres- sure 4 psi (28 kPa) above the recommended pressure but do not exceed the maximum cold inflation pressure molded into the tire sidewall. Oversize tires The use of tire sizes other than those listed may cause interference with vehicle components under extremes of suspension and steering travel, and may result in tire and vehicle damage.
Tire maintenance The following maintenance steps are recommended: 1. Check pressure regularly. 2. Maintain wheel balance and front suspension align- ment. 3. Rotate tires regularly in accordance with the recom- mendation in the section “Tire rotation” on page 330. Cargo loads The load-carrying capacity of your vehicle is shown on the tire and loading information placard. DO NOT USE the weight rating data provided on the safety certification label for determining vehicle passen- ger and/or cargo load capacity. For determining the combined weight of occupants and cargo, use the specifications provided on the tire and loading information placard.

Tread wear indicators
Location of tread wear indicator
Tread wear indicator
M32A0010
Tread wear indicators are built into the original equip- ment tires on your vehicle to assist you in determining when your tires have been worn to the point of needing replacement. Many states have laws making tire replace- ment mandatory at this point. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves and will appear as 1/2 in (13 mm) wide bands when tire tread depth becomes 1/16 in (1.6 mm).
332 MAINTENANCE
When the indicators appear in two or more adjacent grooves, tire replacement is recommended. NOTE: The mark and the location of the tire wear indicator are different depending on tire manufacturers. Tire rotation

Type 1
M40A0490
However, the timing for tire rotation may vary according to your vehicle condition, road surface conditions and each individual driver’s driving habits. Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as possible. When rotating tires, check for uneven wear, damage and wheel alignment. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incor- rect tire pressure, improper wheel alignment, out-of-balance wheel or severe braking. Consult an authorized dealer to determine the cause of irregular tread wear.
M40A0270
To equalize wear and help extend tire life, DaimlerChrysler recommends that you rotate your tires approximately every 7, 500 miles (12, 000 km) under normal driving conditions and every 6,000 miles (9,600km) in severe driving conditions.
The first rotation is the most important to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Do not use the compact spare tire for tire rotation.
Tire chains
CAUTION!
Tire chains are not recommended for your vehicle. The clearance between the chains and the body is small, and the body might be damaged.
Snow tires Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires during winter. Standard tires are of the all season type and satisfy this requirement as indicated by the M+S designation on the tire side wall. If you need snow tires, select tires equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tires. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
MAINTENANCE 333
Snow tires should be inflated 4 psi (28 kPa) higher than the inflation pressure shown on the vehicle’s tire placard. Never inflate over the maximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall. Snow tires should not be operated at sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h). NOTE: As flange nuts are used on your vehicle, change to tapered nuts when snow tires (steel wheels) are used.

All work to be performed may not be covered by the warranty, discuss additional charges with the service manager. Keep a maintenance log of your vehicle’s service history. This can often provide a clue to the current problem. Prepare A List Make a written list of your vehicle’s problems or the specific work you want done. If you’ve had an accident, or work done that is not on your maintenance log, let the service advisor know. Be Reasonable With Requests If you list a number of items, and you must have your vehicle by the end of the day, discuss the situation with the service advisor and list the items in order of priority. At many dealers you may obtain a rental vehicle at a minimal daily charge. If you need a rental, it is advisable to make these arrangements when you call for an ap- pointment.
