snow chains Ram ProMaster City 2019 Owner's Manual

3. Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors.
NOTE:Your vehicle can be equipped with either Tire
Service Kit, compact spare tire or regular size spare tire
(with or without original TPMS sensor).
1. Tire Service Kit (original tire sealant – if equipped): After fixing the punctured tire with original tire sealant, the
original situation will be restored, so system will turn off
the telltale during the normal drive.
2. Compact Spare Tire – if equipped: The compact spare wheel is not equipped with TPMS sensor. So when
mounted, during the normal drive the system will turn
on the telltale (flashing for approximately 75 sec. then
remains solid). This condition persists until a wheel
equipped with original TPMS sensor has been mounted
on the vehicle.
3. Regular size spare tire (not equipped with TPMS sen- sor): When mounted, during the normal drive the
system will turn on the telltale (flashing for approxi-
mately 75 sec. then remains solid). This condition per-
sists until a wheel equipped with original TPMS sensor has been mounted on the vehicle. Then the system will
be restored and the telltale will turn off during the
normal drive.
4. Regular size spare tire (equipped with TPMS sensor): When mounted, the telltale will turn off during the
normal drive.
5. In all the above cases please check the replacement tire inflation pressure before driving your vehicle.
6. In case of tire replacement, if the vehicle is driven for short periods of time, then the system can take a while
to be restored.
NOTE: For a correct Tire Pressure Monitoring behavior,
please wait for about 20 minutes in key-off during each tire
substitution.

the water droplets from the brake components. This activ-
ity will remove the red rust on the brake rotors and prevent
vehicle vibration when braking.
Dark Vapor Chrome, Black Satin Chrome, or Low Gloss
Clear Coat Wheels
CAUTION!
If your vehicle is equipped with these specialty
wheels, DO NOT USE wheel cleaners, abrasives, or
polishing compounds. They will permanently damage
this finish and such damage is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty. HAND WASH ONLY US-
ING MILD SOAP AND WATER WITH A SOFT
CLOTH. Used on a regular basis; this is all that is
required to maintain this finish.
Tire Chains (Traction Devices)
Due to limited clearance, tire chains or traction devices are
not recommended.
CAUTION!
Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are
used.
Tire Rotation Recommendations
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle operate at
different loads and perform different steering, driving, and
braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal
rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires. The
benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with aggres-
sive tread designs such as those on all season type tires.
Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud,
snow and wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth,
quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” for the proper mainte-
nance intervals. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear
should be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
