tyres according to the tyre pressure
values displayed on the instrument
cluster.
●
Tyre pressure should be measured
while tyres are at ambient
temperatures. This means that it
should be measured at least three
hours after stop. If you have to drive
before measuring the tyre pressures,
as long as the driving distance does
not exceed 1.6 km (1mile), the tyres
can still be considered to be in a cold
state.
●
If the tyre pressures are checked
when the tyres are hot (after several
kilometers of driving), the pressure
readings are 30~40 kPa (0.3~0.4 kgf/
cm²) higher than those in the cold
state. This is normal. Do not de󽗊ate
the tyres to reach the tyre pressure
readings speci󽗉ed for the cold state,
otherwise, the tyre pressures are
insu󽗋cient.
REMINDER
●
The recommended cold tyre
pressure is indicated on the label
a󽗋xed to the driver's door frame.
●
Tubeless tyres can self-seal punctures.
However, as leakage is usually very
slow, the leaks should be carefully
identi󽗉ed as soon as the tyre begins to
depressurize.
Checks
●
Whenever checking tyre in󽗊ation,
check tyres for damage, foreign body
piercing and wear.
●
Replace the tyre if bumps, or tread
or side damage are found. Tyres
should be replaced if any of the case
happens.
●
Replace the tyre if there are cracks on
its side, or if its fabric or cord can be
seen.
●
Replace tyres with excessive tread
wear.
●
Wear marks are cast inside tyre treads.
When the tread is worn at this point, a
band mark is shown across the tread,
indicating the tread thickness is less
than 1.6 mm (0.06in). The adhesion of
tyres worn to this extent is very small
on wet roads.
●
When the tread is worn to the point
where the wear mark is exposed, there
is serious performance loss, and the
tyres must be replaced.
Maintenance
●
In addition to proper in󽗊ation, proper
wheel alignment also helps reduce
tread wear.
●
If uneven tyre wear is found, drive
the vehicle to a BYD authorized dealer
or service provider to check wheel
alignment.
●
The vehicle has been balanced in
the factory, but tyres need to be re-
balanced after driving for a period of
time.
●
If you feel continuous vibration when
driving at a high speed (80 km/h
50mph) but not at a low speed, it is
recommended to drive your vehicle
