• Mixing tires could cause you to lose control while
driving. Be sure to use the same size and type of
tires of the same manufacturer on all wheels. If you
do not use the same tires on the vehicle equipped
with the TOD (4 wheel drive), it may cause a serious
damage to the vehicle’s drive system.
• Check the inflation pressure, cracks and tearing of
tires before driving.
• Improperly tightened wheel nuts can cause the wheel
to become loose and even come off. This could lead
to an accident. Be sure to check and tighten the
wheel nuts as specified before any long journey.
• Do not use non-genuine wheel and tire. Non-genuine
wheel and tire may have inferior performance and func-
tion and dangerous for safe driving. Also, any defects
due to using them cannot be covered by warranty.
• Be sure to check the tires and wheels before driving.
If a wheel is damaged, the tire inflation pressure can
be decreased and the tire can be damaged.
• If a tire has been impacted by a stone or any other
objects during driving, have it checked by a Ssangyong
Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center.
• The use of tire sizes other than the specified sizes
may cause abnormal operation of the steering wheel,
increased fuel consumption, damage to the
powertrain or the braking system, vibration, or un-
even tire wear. Always use the specified tires from
the same manufacturer.
• In part time transfer case equipped vehicle, do not
use 4WD mode when the snow chain is installed only
on the rear tire. It may damage the driving system.
If you want to use the 4WD mode, install the snow
chains on all tires.
WINTER TIRE
Use snow tires when driving on snowy or icy roads.
If winter tires are used, they must be installed to all 4 wheels.
SPARE TIRE
The temporary spare tire is only for an emergency. Do not use it for normal
driving. With these tires, do not drive more 60 km/h. The spare tire should
be replaced with a regular tire as soon as possible.
Check the tire conditions and pressure as needed and always keep it
available. For replacing procedures, refer to “In Case of Emergency” sec-
tion in this manual.
After replacing the tire, be sure to adjust the pressure to the specified pressure of
the tire. Otherwise, the suspension system and driving system may be damaged.
CAUTION
SPARE TIRE AND WINTER TIRE
• Drive very slowly with extra caution on snowy or icy roads.
• The snow tire with arrow direction markings on its side wall should be in-
stalled according to the arrow direction.
• The snow tires cannot guarantee your safety on icy and slippery road. Drive
with extra caution, avoiding sudden acceleration, braking or movements of
the steering wheel.
• When the snow tires are not needed anymore, replace them with ordinary
tires. Keep the removed snow tires in a cool and shady place. Be careful not
to contact them with any oil, grease, or fuel.
WARNING
TIRE CHAIN
Chains must be installed on the rear wheels only.
If you have to install the chains on the front wheels, drive cautiously and avoid
severe turns to prevent the surrounding parts from being damaged.
