MAINTENANCE
These procedures must be carried out by
competent persons. If you have any doubts
about your ability to complete any of the
procedures we recommend these tasks are
performed by your local distributor.
9.1 TYRES
Tyres must be maintained at the pressure
indicated on the multifunction sticker
located on the inspection door. Under-
inflation will adversely affect handling and
fuel consumption and will lead to premature
wear. If seriously under-inflated, a tyre will
overheat and fail very rapidly.
When renewing tyres, always ensure
that you purchase a tyre of the same size
and load/speed index rating. This will be
found on the sidewall of the tyre. e.g.
165/60R13C 96/94N. Different makes or
models of tyres of the same size can have
widely differing load/speed index ratings
and inflation pressures. Use of a tyre with
a lower rating can be dangerous. If in doubt,
ask a tyre distributor or our customer
care department.
