TreadDepthandAbnormalWear
Using worn-out tires is dangerous because
they might have an increased chance
of getting punctured or bursting while
driving. Check all tires to see if tread wear
indicators appear on their treads and also
check their entire tread for its depth with a
depth gauge to make sure that the grooves
are deeper than the specified depth.
A tire with tread wear indicators appearing
must be changed. Also, check the tires for
uneven or otherwise abnormal wear.
If the tires are worn, contact your Isuzu
Dealer as soon as possible.

CAUTION
• Tires with excessively shallow tread grooves will increase the chance of
skidding and, when driving at high speeds, hydroplaning.
Cracks and Other Damage
Check the tread and sidewall surfaces of each tire for cracks or other damage.
Especially check the tread for nails or other metal pieces embedded in grooves.
If you find anything abnormal with tires when you check them, avoid driving the vehicle
and contact the nearest Isuzu Dealer.
ADVICE
• When checking tires, pay special attention to: low air pressure; pebbles or nails
in tread grooves; cracks or other damage on tire surfaces; uneven wear.
