represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory

test wheel, than the minimum required by law.

WARNING!

The temperature grade for this tire is established for
a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive load-
ing, either separately or in combination, can cause
heat buildup and possible tire failure.

STORING THE VEHICLE

If you are storing your vehicle for more than 21 days, we

recommend that you take the following steps to minimize

the drain on your vehicle’s battery:

Disconnect the negative cable from battery.

Any time you store your vehicle or keep it out of service

(i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air

conditioning system at idle for about five minutes in the

fresh air and high blower setting. This will ensure

adequate system lubrication to minimize the possibility

of compressor damage when the system is started again.

BODYWORK

Protection From Atmospheric Agents

Vehicle body care requirements vary according to geo-

graphic locations and usage. Chemicals that make roads

passable in snow and ice and those that are sprayed on

trees and road surfaces during other seasons are highly

corrosive to the metal in your vehicle. Outside parking,

which exposes your vehicle to airborne contaminants, road

surfaces on which the vehicle is operated, extreme hot or

cold weather and other extreme conditions will have an

adverse effect on paint, metal trim, and underbody protec-

tion.
The following maintenance recommendations will enable

you to obtain maximum benefit from the corrosion resis-

tance built into your vehicle.

What Causes Corrosion?

Corrosion is the result of deterioration or removal of paint

and protective coatings from your vehicle.
The most common causes are:

Road salt, dirt and moisture accumulation.

Stone and gravel impact.

Insects, tree sap and tar.
