WHEELS AND TIRES
4. Replace the valve cap
5. Repeat this procedure for each tyre, including the spare
WARNING
!
After inspecting or adjusting the tyre pressure, always
reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will
prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve
stem, which could damage the stem, resulting in an
unexpected loss of tyre pressure, an accident,
personal injury or death.
Radial Ply Tires
WARNING
!
Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on
your vehicle will cause your vehicle to handle poorly,
resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
Always use radial tires in sets of four. Never combine
them with other types of tires.
Cuts and punctures in radial tires are repairable only
in the tread area because of sidewall flexing. Consult
your authorized dealer for radial tyre repairs.
Tire Pressures for High Speed Operation
It is recommended for driving at safe speeds within the
recommended speed limits. Where speed limits and
conditions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high
speeds, maintaining correct tyre inflation pressure is very
important. The maximum/optimum speed for your tyre is
mentioned on the tyre side wall. Do not exceed this limit.
WARNING
!
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle continuously in a
maximum loaded condition at maximum speed. This
can add strain on your vehicles tires, causing them to
fail unexpectedly and result in an accident, personal
injury or death.
Tread Wear Indicators (TWI)
Tread wear indicators are molded into the bottom of the
tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread
depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm). When the indicators appear
in two or more adjacent grooves, the tyre should be replaced.
CAUTION
Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. This can cause
tyre deterioration and lead to loss of steering or
braking control.
