●
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 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.
Winter Tires
●
Winter tires provide better traction
on snowy roads. The special rubber
tread pattern makes the tires less
a󽗈ected by low temperatures and
delivers excellent braking performance
to improve driving safety.
Usage tips
●
It is recommended to use winter
tires in snow or ice conditions or
at temperatures below 7℃. When
temperatures rise to above 7℃, install
summer or all-season tires instead for
driving safety and better performance.
●
Winter tires must be the same size,
load index, and speed rating as those
originally provided by BYD.
●
Winter tires must have adequate tread
depth. Tires with a tread depth less
than 4 mm do not perform well in
winter conditions.
●
Winter or summer tires are designed
for speci󽗉c acceleration conditions.
Use them in the corresponding
seasons to avoid poor traction or
braking performance.
●
Do not exceed the speed rating of
winter tires, which is relatively low.
●
After installing winter tires, in󽗊ate
them to the design pressures.
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.
●
The vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure gauge. 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 kgf/cm²) 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.
