surfaces, they may not provide the friction
force you expect or the same performance
level as winter tires on snow-covered
roads.
Generally, winter tires are used to increase
friction on snow-covered roads. When
winter tires are used, the following
phenomena may occur: reduced traction
on dry roads, increased noise on roads
and shortened service life of tire tread.
After changing to winter tires, beware of
the changes in vehicle control and braking.
Please consult a Farizon Auto after-sales
service station for details of winter tire
supply and selection of suitable tires. If you
choose to use winter tires:
• Use tires of the same brand and tread
pattern at all four wheel positions.
• Use only radial tires with the same
dimensions, load range and rated
speed as the genuine tires.
• If you choose to use winter tires with a
lower rated speed, do not exceed the
maximum rated speed of the tires.
Tire pressure
Tires must have the correct inflation
pressure to work effectively. Please refer to
"Wheel and Tire Parameters" in Chapter 9
"Technical Data" for tire inflation pressure.
If the tires do not have enough air
(under-inflation), the following
conditions will occur:
• Excessive deflection and
deformation
• Overheating
• Tire overload
• Poor handling stability
If the tires have too much air (over-
inflation), the following conditions will
occur:
• Abnormal wear
• Poor handling stability
• poor riding comfort.
• Unnecessary damage caused by
dangerous road conditions
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with an indirect
tire pressure monitoring system. The
working principle of the connection-type
tire pressure monitoring system is that
when the tire pressure decreases, the
weight of the vehicle will reduce the rolling
radius of this wheel, resulting in its speed
faster than other wheels. At the same time,
the resonance frequency of this wheel will
decrease. The purpose of monitoring tire
pressure is achieved by comparing the
difference between rotation speed and
resonance frequency among tires. The
indirect tire warning system actually
monitors the tire pressure by calculating
the rolling radius and resonance frequency
of the tire.
If the TPMS abnormal tire pressure
warning lamp illuminates, it indicates that
one or more tires are underinflated. At this
time, pull over as soon as possible. Check
the tire pressure and inflate the tire to the
correct pressure value. Driving with
underinflated tires will cause tire
overheating and fault. In addition, it will
shorten the tread life and may affect the
vehicle's handling performance and
braking performance. Adjust the tire
