Tires
●
For safe driving, tires must be made
and sized to 󽗉t the vehicle, with good
tread and standard tire pressure.
WARNING
●
Using tires with excessive wear
or insu󽗋cient/excessive pressure
can result in accidents, severe
injury, or death.
●
Please follow all instructions
in this manual regarding tire
in󽗊ation and maintenance.
Tire In󽗊ation
●
Keep tires properly in󽗊ated to
provide the best combination of
maneuverability, tread life, and driving
comfort.
●
Under-in󽗊ated tires can cause uneven
tire wear, a󽗈ect steerability and energy
consumption, and are prone to leakage
due to overheating.
●
Over-in󽗊ated tires reduce riding
comfort and are prone to damage from
uneven roads. In severe cases, the risk
of tire bursting poses severe threats to
the safety of the entire vehicle. Over-
in󽗊ation will also cause uneven wear
and tear of tires, a󽗈ecting tire service
life.
●
When tires are cold, you can decide
whether to replenish tire pressure
according to the tire pressure values
displayed on the instrument cluster.
●
Tire pressure should be measured
while tires are at ambient
temperatures. This means that it
should be measured at least three
hours after stop. If you must drive
the vehicle before the tire pressure is
measured, tires can still be considered
at ambient temperatures as long as the
traveled distance is not more than 1.6
km.
●
It is normal that tire pressure reading
measured while tires are hot (after
travel of several kilometers) is 30-40
kPa (0.3~0.4 bar) higher than when
tires are cold. In that case, do not
de󽗊ate tires in order to achieve the
speci󽗉ed cold tire pressure reading;
otherwise, the tire pressure will be
insu󽗋cient.
REMINDER
●
The recommended cold tire
pressure is indicated on the label
a󽗋xed to the driver's door frame.
●
Tubeless tires have a self-
sealing function when they are
punctured. However, as the leak
is usually very slow, as soon as
the tire begins to depressurize,
carefully look for the leak
location.
Tire Checks
●
Whenever checking tire in󽗊ation,
check tires for damage, foreign body
piercing and wear.
●
Replace the tire if bumps, or tread or
side damage are found. Tires must be
replaced if any of the cases happens.
●
Replace the tire if there are cracks on
its side, or if its fabric or cord can be
seen.
●
Replace tires with excessive tread
wear.
