Recreational towing for this vehicle is not recommended.

GROUND CLEARANCE
The front and rear fascias and side sills ride low and
ground clearance is limited.
CAUTION!
Damage to the front and rear fascias and side sills can
occur if you disregard the low ground clearance in
these areas of your vehicle. Pay close attention when
parking to avoid running into parking curbs. Exercise
caution when entering or exiting steep driveways, or
when pulling off the road onto soft shoulders.
174 STARTING AND OPERATING

In the event that you do take this vehicle to a commercial
car wash, move the Heater/Air Conditioning blower
control to the lowest setting. This will prevent the possi-
bility of water entering the system.
CAUTION!
The tires on this vehicle are wider than the guide
tracks on most washes and the low ground clearance
of this vehicle may not be compatible with some car
wash equipment. You could damage your vehicle.
Paint and Trim
Your vehicle is exposed to the corrosive effects of chemi-
cal fallout, salt spray, and road film. To protect not only
the paint and trim, but also exposed mountings and
fixtures, it is important to wash your vehicle often and
thoroughly.After washing, allow all surfaces to drain and dry before
parking the vehicle in a closed garage. Prompt washing
may not thoroughly remove these deposits. Additional
cleaners may be required. When using chemical cleaners
formulated for this purpose, be certain they are safe for
use on urethane painted surfaces.
Use soap and water on dull black window trim. Polish or
cleaners may leave a white residue. If desired, you may
polish your vehicle immediately by using MopartAuto-
mobile Polish or equivalent.
Damage to the Body Finish
Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish
should be promptly repaired.
Minor damage can be repaired by using touch-up mate-
rials available at your dealer. More extensive damage
should be corrected in your dealer's paint facility.
