Replace your tyres with radial tyres
of the same size, load range, speed
rating, and maximum cold tyre
pressure rating (as shown on the
tyre’s sidewall).
Mixing radial and bias-ply tyres on
your vehicle can reduce braking
ability, traction, and steering
accuracy. Using tyres of a different
size or construction can cause the
ABS and vehicle stability assist
system (VSA) to work inconsistently.
If you purchase directional tyres,
rotate only front-to-back.
When the tyres are rotated, make
sure the air pressures are checked.
The ABS, VSA and deflation warning
system work by comparing the speed
of the wheels. When replacing tyres,
use the same size originally supplied
with the vehicle. Tyre size and
construction can affect wheel speed
and may cause the system to work
inconsistently.
After replacing tyres, initialise the
deflation warning system to use it
properly (see page ).
It is best to replace all four tyres at
thesametime.Ifthatisnotpossible
or necessary, replace the two front
tyres or two rear tyres as a pair.
Replacing just one tyre can seriously
affect your vehicle’s handling.
If you ever replace a wheel, make
sure that the wheel’s specifications
match those of the original wheels.
Consult your dealer before replacing
tyres.
Replacement wheels are available at
your dealer.
If the tyres that came on your
vehicle are directional tyres, they
should be rotated only front-to-back.
After rotating tyres, initialise the
deflation warning system to use it
properly (see page ).427
