TYRES
Tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact
between the vehicle and the road, so
it is essential to keep them in good
condition.
You must make sure that vour tvres
conform to local road regulations.
When they need to be
replaced, only _ tyres
of the same make, size,
type and profile should
be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those
recommended by your
RENAULT Dealer.

Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have
sufficient depth; tyres approved by
RENAULT's Technical Department
have wear warning says 1 in the
form of indicators moulded into the
tread at several points.
When the tyre tread has been
eroded to the level of the warning
strips, they become visible 2: it is
then necessary to replace your tyres
because the read rubber is no longer,
1.6 mm deep and this causes poor
road holding on wet roads.
Incidents which occur when
driving, such as striking the kerb,
may damage the tyres and could
lead to misalignment of the front
axle geometry.
A loaded vehicle, long journeys by
motorway, particularly in very hot
weather, or continual driving on
oorly surfaced minor roads will
ead to more rapid tyre wear and
affect safety.
