Tyres
Adjust the tyre inflation pressures
to specification. Low tyre inflation
pressures will result in overheating
and possible failure of the tyres.
Avoid using worn or damaged tyres
which may result in reduced traction
or tyre failure.
Never exceed the maximum tyre
inflation pressure shown on the
tyres.
Under/over inflated tyres
Always check the tyres for proper
inflation before driving. Underin
-
flated or overinflated tyres can
cause poor handling, loss of vehicle
control, and sudden tyre failure,
leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. For proper tyre pres

sures, refer to "Tyres and wheels"
on page 9-6.
Tyre tread
Always check the tyre tread before
driving your vehicle. Worn-out tyres
can result in loss of vehicle control.
Worn-out tyres should be replaced
as soon as possible. For further
information and tread limits, refer
to "Tyres and wheels" on page 8-51.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
High speed travel consumes more
fuel than urban motoring. Do not
forget to check both the engine
coolant and engine oil.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
result in overheating of the engine.
