INFORMATION
■ When replacing wheels

of a loss in tire inflation pressure.
Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be
installed.
WARNING
■ When replacing wheels
● Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the Owner’s
Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control.
● Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire. Doing
so may result in an accident, causing death or serious injury.
● Use the correct wheel bolts for the wheels to be installed.
