6. Usage and Maintenance
Prevention Measures for Wheel Fault
– To cross over curbs or similar obstacles, slow
down your vehicle and drive in the vertical
direction of the obstacle as far as possible.
– Prevent the tires from touching grease, oil and
fuel.
– Periodically inspect the tire damage state (e.g.
tire cut, wear, crack, peeling off, deformation,
bump and other damages).
– Periodically remove sundries embedded in the
tire tread grooves.
Notice of Tire Storage
– Make a mark on the tire to indicate the
direction of rotation before removing the tire.
Re-install the tire according to the mark to
keep the direction of rotation and the dynamic
balance state of the wheel unchanged.
– Store any removed wheel or tire at a cool, dry
and preferably dark place.
– The tire installed on the rim should not be
stored upright.
New Tires and Wheels
– Select appropriate wheels and tires with care.
Ensure that the new wheels and tires are
much the same as the original one in
dimensions, load range, rated speed and
structure.
– Do not to replace one tire only. At least the two
tires on the same axle shall be replaced
simultaneously.
– Do not use any tire that its effective size is not
recognized for relevant models by GAC
MOTOR. Otherwise, accidents may occur due
to envelope interference or collision of the
vehicle body.
– Do not confuse tires of different dimensions or
types, such as summer tire, all season tire and
winder tire.
– It is recommended to use the tires or wheel
combination recognized for relevant models by
GAC MOTOR. For those unrecognized, GAC
MOTOR cannot make any judgment and
cannot ensure safe driving.
– Each time after a wheel is installed, check
whether the tightening torque of wheel bolts
reaches 120±10N·m as required.
Non-full Size Tire
The spare tire is different from the standard
tire in such aspects as structure, pattern, speed
grade and load index. Therefore, the spare tire
cannot replace the standard tire.
After a spare tire is used in emergency, go
to the authorized GAC Motor's dealer or a
wheel repair store to replace the main tire to
avoid potential safety hazards due to long time
use of the spare tire.
Warning
• The spare tire can only be used temporarily in
emergency and its maximum speed is less
than 80 km/h.
•
The storage life of a spare tire is 6 years. Do
not use any spare tire beyond the storage lift.
