Tire maintenance
To ensure a safe drive, make sure that the
tires used suit your vehicle and that they
possess a good tread and appropriate tire
pressure.
Warning
〉
Do not use the excessive wear tires or
tires with insufficient tire pressure; doing
so may lead to an accident, injury.
〉
You must abide by all manual instruc-
tions regarding tire inflation and mainte-
nance.
〉
Burning tires by individuals produces
toxic gases. Please head to a service
provider for service.
Tire check
When checking tire inflation state, you
should also check that there is no external
damage, embedded foreign objects or ex-
cessive wear, etc.
If any of the following circumstances are
found, you should replace the tire as soon
as possible:
〉
There is damage and bulging in the tire
tread or side.
〉
There is excessive wear to the tire tread.
Tire pressure
Maintaining appropriate tire pressure lev-
els can maximize vehicle handle ability,
tire tread life and drive comfort.
Uneven wear of under-inflated tires also
impacts the handling of the vehicle and
fuel consumption, and may cause tires to
go flat due to overheating.
Over-inflated tires can lead to an uncom-
fortable ride as well as damage to the tire
due to uneven road surfaces, as well as
uneven wear to the tires.
It is recommended that you check the tire
pressure regularly, including the spare
tire(If equipped).
Tire pressure should be measured when
the tire is cold. If parking is more than 3
hours or driving distance is not more than
1.5 km, then the measurement will get
more accurate data. When checking tire
pressure after the tire has been warmed
up (after a drive), the pressure reading will
be 30 to 40 kPa higher than the cold-state
reading. This is normal. Do not deflate the
tire to achieve recommended cold-state
pressure levels at this point as this will
lead to insufficient tire pressure levels.
Notice
The tire pressure in normal tires can go
