to enable front wiper maintenance.
The wiper is then rotated down.
2. Grasp the upper end of the wiper
arm and carefully lift the wiper arm
and blade assembly.
Tires
●
For safe driving, tires must be made
and sized to fit the vehicle, with good
tread and standard tire pressure.
●
The following pages provide details on
how to check tire pressure, damage to
and wear of tires, and the operating
method for tire transposition.
WARNING
●
Using excessively worn tires, or
with too high or low pressure,
poses a high risk of accidents.
●
Follow all of the instructions in
this manual on tire inflation and
maintenance.
Tire Inflation
●
Keep tires properly inflated to
provide the best combination of
maneuverability, tread life and driving
comfort.
●
Under-inflated tires can cause uneven
tire wear, affect steerability and energy
consumption, and are prone to leakage
due to overheating.
●
Over-inflated 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-
inflation will also cause uneven wear
and tear of tires, affecting 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
travelled 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 deflate
tires in order to achieve the specified
cold tire pressure reading; otherwise,
the tire pressure will be insufficient.
REMINDER
●
The recommended tire pressure
label (stuck on the driver's
side door frame) indicates the
recommended cold tire pressure.
●
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 Inspection
●
Whenever checking tire inflation,
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.
