Tire Inflator Kit
The tire inflator kit is located at the back
of the trunk on the driver’s side. It in-
cludes an air compressor, a tire sealant
canister, an accessory plug and an air
pressure gauge. Refer to the tire inflator
kit instructions for complete operating
information.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Your vehicle was not designed to tow a
trailer. It also was not designed to be
towed behind another vehicle with any
of its wheels on the ground; therefore,
dinghy towing is not recommended.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Towing and Dinghy Towing
The Tire and Loading Information Label
lists the proper size, speed rating and
recommended tire inflation pressure for
the tires on your vehicle. This label is
located on the driver’s doorjamb. Over-
inflated and underinflated tires affect
fuel economy and vehicle handling
as well as promote tire wear.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Tire Pressure
The convertible top should be cleaned
often. However, high pressure car wash-
es may cause water to enter the vehicle.
After washing and thoroughly rinsing the
vehicle, let the top dry in direct sunlight.
A chamois or cloth may leave lint on
the top.
Cleaning the Chrome or Aluminum
Wheels
Keep the wheels clean using mild soap
and water and a soft, clean cloth. Strong
soaps and cleaners could damage the
surface of the wheels.
The chrome or aluminum wheels may
also be damaged if the vehicle is driven
through an automatic car wash that has
silicone carbide tire cleaning brushes.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Car Washing
Use premium unleaded gasoline with a
posted octane rating of 91 or higher for
best engine performance. You may also
use regular unleaded gasoline rated at
87 octane or higher, but your vehicle’s
performance may be slightly reduced.
Unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
below 87 is not recommended.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Premium Unleaded Gasoline
Note: Before entering an automatic car
wash, ensure that there is the neces-
sary amount of ground clearance
between the vehicle and the car wash
guide rails.
