Tire
Defective tires are very dangerous! Do not drive in
case of the tires are damaged, excessive wear or
improper pressure.
When driving, please pay close attention to the state
of the tires, and regularly check the tread and sidewall
for deformation (bulge), scratches, abnormal wear,
cracks, spikes, etc.
The most common causes of tire failure:
● Hitting or rubbing the shoulder
● Driving through deep pothole on the road
● Too low or too high tire pressure
Note
Be careful to prevent tire wear from engine oil,
grease, gasoline and other vehicle liquids.
Instructions for tire storage
Before removing the tire, a mark shall be made on the
tire to indicate the tire rotation direction. When
installing the tire, resetting according to the mark can
ensure that the direction of rotation and dynamic state
of the wheel remain unchanged.
The removed wheels and tires should be stored in a
cool and dry place, ideally in shade, away from
sunlight.
Tires which are not yet mounted on the vehicle should
be stored vertically.
Tire pressure
The correct tire pressure can prolong the service life
of tires. It can also ensure the best combination of
driving comfort, fuel economy and drivability.
When the tire pressure is too low, it will intensify tire
wear, greatly affect the drivability and fuel economy
of the vehicle and increase the danger of lost tire
effectiveness. If the tire pressure is too high, it will
cause driving instability and uneven tire wear, thus
reducing the service life of the tires.
Check the tire pressure (including the spare tire) at
least once a week. Make sure the tire is at room
temperature - as little as 1.6 km of driving will allow
the tires to heat up sufficiently to affect the pressure.
The pressure in a hot tire will inevitably rise; If it is
necessary to check the tire pressure when the tire is
hot (after the vehicle has been running for a while),
the pressure should increase by about 0.2 to 0.5 bar.
In such a situation, please do NOT deflate the tires for
the purpose of making the tire pressure up to the
standard.
Please refer to the "Tire Information" on page 315 for
details on the tire pressure standards in cold state.
When to Check Tire Pressure?
Tires should be checked at least once a week. Do not
forget to check the spare tire pressure, which is 240
kPa (5 seats), 260 kPa (7 seats).
