Maintenance Tyres and wheels
Without a spare tyre
Directional tyres (if equipped)
Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tyres are
rotated.
Rotate radial tyres that have an
asymmetric tread pattern only from
front to rear and not from right to
left.
䳜 Do not use the compact spare
tyre for tyre rotation.
䳜 Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tyres under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that could result in
death, severe injury, or property
damage.
Wheel alignment and tyre balance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tyre
life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tyre
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may
need to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road,
your wheels may need to be rebal
-
anced.
Improper wheel weights can dam
-
age your vehicle's aluminium
wheels. Use only approved wheel
weights.
Tyre replacement
If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread
wear Indicator will appear as a solid
band across the tread.
