Tires
Tire wear
Punctured tires
Your vehicle is fitted with tubeless tires, which
may not leak if penetrated by a sharp object,
provided the object remains in the tire. If you
are aware of this occurring, reduce speed
immediately and drive with caution until the
spare wheel can be fitted.
A puncture of this kind will eventually cause the
tire to lose pressure, which is why regular (and
frequent) checking of tire pressures is
important.

Tires fitted as original equipment have wear
indicators moulded into the tread pattern.
When the tread has worn down to 1/16 inch

mm) the indicators start appearing at the

surface of the tread pattern, producing the
effect of a continuous band of rubber across the
width of the tire.
A tire MUST be replaced as soon as an indicator
band becomes visible or the tread depth
reaches the minimum permitted by legislation.
Tread depth must be checked regularly (at
every maintenance service, or more
frequently). Always replace a tire before the
tread reaches a remaining depth of 1.6 mm
(1/16
inch). DO NOT drive with tires worn to
this limit, the safety of the vehicle and
occupants will be adversely affected.
NOTE: After off-road use, check to make sure
there are no lumps or bulges in the tires or
exposure of the ply or cord structure.
Valves
Keep the valve caps screwed down firmly - they
prevent dirt from entering the valve. Check the
valve for leaks (listen for a tell-tale hissing)
when you check the tire pressure.
