to a BYD authorized dealer or service
provider for a tyre inspection.
●
Be sure to balance the tyre again after
a tyre is repaired.
●
After installing a new tyre or replacing
a new wheel, always perform tyre
balancing.
CAUTION
●
Improper wheel balancers will get
stuck, become loose and fall o󽗈.
While driving, this will damage the
car or surrounding objects.
●
Improper wheel balancers
damage the aluminium rims
of the vehicle. Therefore, it is
recommended to use original
wheel balancers.
Tyre Rotation
●
In order to make tyres wear the same
and prolong their service life, it is
recommended to rotate tyres regularly
and conduct four-wheel alignment,
inspection and adjustment as well.
●
Do not rotate tyres when a spare tyre is
used for the vehicle.
●
When purchasing replacement tyres,
you may 󽗉nd that some tyres are
"directional," which can only be
rotated in one direction. If directional
tyres are used, only the front and
rear wheels can be swapped in tyre
rotation. See the 󽗉gure.
Replacing Tyres and Wheels
●
The original tyres of this vehicle are
selected to maximize the performance
of the vehicle, and can provide
you with the best combination of
maneuverability, riding comfort, and
service life.
●
It is recommended to go to a BYD
authorised dealer or service provider
for replacement of original tyres.
●
If radial tyres with di󽗈erent
dimensions, load range, rated speed
and maximum cold tyre pressure
(marked on the side of the tyre) from
that of the original tyres are used
for replacement, or radial tyres and
diagonal tyres are used at the same
time, the braking capacity, driving
force (ground adhesion) and steering
accuracy of the vehicle are reduced.
●
Unsuitable tyres a󽗈ect the
maneuverability and stability of the
vehicle, and may lead to accidents.
●
It is better to replace four tyres at
the same time. If it is impossible
or unnecessary, replace the pair of
front tyres or rear tyres at the same
time. Replacing only one tyre seriously
a󽗈ects the maneuverability of the
vehicle.
●
ABS (Anti-lock brake system) works by
comparing the speed of wheels. When
replacing a tyre, use a tyre of the same
size as the original tyre. The size and
structure of the tyre can a󽗈ect wheel
speed and may lead to uncoordinated
system operation.
●
If the wheel needs to be replaced,
ensure that the speci󽗉cations of the
new wheel match those of the original
wheel. New wheels are available for
purchase at BYD authorised dealer or
