If wheel spin is unavoidable due
to a loss of traction (in deep
snow, for example), do not
exceed the 50 km/h (30 mph)
point on the speedometer.
Do not exceed the maximum
pressure stated on the sidewall of
the tyre.
Note: Tyre condition should be checked
after the vehicle has been used off-road.
As soon as the vehicle returns to a normal,
hard, road surface, stop and check for
damage to the tyres.
All of the vehicle's tyres (including the
spare) should be checked regularly for
damage, wear, and distortion. If you are
in any doubt about the condition of a tyre,
have it checked immediately by a tyre
repair centre or a Retailer/Authorised
Repairer.
TYRE PRESSURES
All tyre pressures, including the
spare, should be checked
regularly using an accurate
pressure gauge, when the tyres
are cold.
Pressure checks should be carried
out only when the tyres are cold,
and the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 3 hours.
A hot tyre at, or below,
recommended cold inflation
pressure, is dangerously
under-inflated.
Never drive your vehicle if the
tyre pressures are incorrect.
Under-inflation causes excessive
flexing and uneven tyre wear. This
can lead to sudden tyre failure.
Over-inflation causes harsh ride,
uneven tyre wear and poor
handling.
Do not drive the vehicle with a
leaking tyre. Even if the tyre
appears to be inflated it could be
dangerously under-inflated and
will continue to deflate. Renew
the tyre or contact an approved
repairer.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tyre tread life and
may affect the vehicle’s handling
and stopping ability.
If the vehicle has been parked in
strong sunlight, or used in high
ambient temperatures, do not
reduce the tyre pressures. Move
the vehicle into the shade and
allow the tyres to cool before
rechecking the pressures.
