2005 Chrysler Crossfire Owner's Manual - Page 158

158 STARTING AND OPERATING NOTE: The pressure in your tires changes with temperature. A significant decrease in temperature could reduce cold inflation pressure below the TPM setpoint. For example, tires inflated to the proper cold inflation pressure on a warm day or in a warm garage could illuminate the TPM indicator lamp on the following day if the temperature is very cold. ALWAYS check the pressure in your tires if the TPM lamp is illuminated. Tire Chains The RUD-matic DISC is the only tire chain system approved for use on the Chrysler Crossfire. Chains should only be used on the rear wheels and only with the recommended winter mud and snow (M+S) tires and wheels. Follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions. Tire chains should only be driven on snow-covered roads at speeds not to exceed 30 mph (48 km/h). Remove chains as soon as possible when driving on roads without snow. When driving with tire chains, press the ESP control switch to OFF. CAUTION! Damage to the vehicle may result if unapproved tire chains are used. Original Equipment Tires Your vehicle is equipped with either sport performance tires or all-season performance tires. The sport performance tires offer the maximum road handling capability in dry and wet weather conditions. The all-season performance tires, while offering slightly less road handling capability, are able to provide traction capability in snow and ice conditions. Both types of tires are rated for high speed operation. It is important that you know what type of tires your vehicle is equipped with so that you understand their traction and handling characteristics for various road conditions. Replacement tires should be of the same size and speed rating to continue to provide the same level of performance you are accustomed to.
