Dodge Charger: TIRES / Snow Traction Devices
Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-to-body clearance. Due to limited
clearance, the following snow traction devices are recommended. Follow these recommendations
to guard against damage.
Snow traction device must be of proper size for the tire, as recommended by the
snow traction device manufacturer.
No other tire sizes are recommended for use with the snow traction device.
Please follow the table below for the recom- mended tire size, axle and snow
traction device:
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type (M+S, Snow) between front and rear
axles can cause unpredictable handling. You could lose control and have a collision.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the following precautions:
- Because of restricted traction device clearance between tires and
other suspension compo- nents, it is important that only traction devices in
good condition are used. Broken devices can cause serious damage. Stop the vehicle
imme- diately if noise occurs that could indicate device breakage. Remove the
damaged parts of the device before further use.
- Install device as tightly as possible and then retighten after driving
about ½ mile (0.8 km). Autosock traction devices do not require retightening.
- Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
- Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large bumps, especially
with a loaded vehicle.
- Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry pavement.
- Observe the traction device manufacturer’s instructions on the method
of installation, operating speed, and conditions for use. Always use the suggested
operating speed of the device manufacturer’s if it is less than 30 mph (48 km/h).
- Do not use traction devices on a compact spare tire.
All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should
be cleaned regularly using mild (neutral Ph) soap and water to maintain their luster
and to prevent corrosion...
Tires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at different loads and
perform different steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they
wear at unequal rates...
Other information:
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to ensure that the wheel is properly
mounted to the vehicle. Any time a wheel has been removed and reinstalled on the
vehicle, the lug nuts/ bolts should be torqued using a properly calibrated torque
wrench using a six sided (hex) deep wall socket...
The ParkView Rear Back Up Camera allows you to see an on-screen image of the
