Tyres
WARNING
Tyre wear
Some tyres fitted as originalequipment have
wear indicators moulded into the tread
pattern. When the tread has worn down to 1.6
mm the indicators start appearing on the
surface of the tread pattern, producing the
effect of a continuous band across the width
of the tyre.
•
•
Never drive your vehicle if the tyres are
badly worn, cut or damaged, or if the
pressures are incorrect.
Incorrectlyinflated tyres wear rapidly
and seriously affect the vehicle’s safety
and road handling characteristics.
Atyre MUSTbe replaced as soon as an
indicator band becomes visible or the tread
depth reaches the minimum permitted by
legislation.
Caring for your tyres
Always drive with consideration for the
condition of the tyres and frequentlyinspect
the tread and side walls for signs of distortion
or damage (in particular, look for lumps, cuts
and bulges).
Tread depth must be checked regularly(at
everymaintenance service, or more
frequently). Always replace a tyre before the
tread reaches a remaining depth of 1.6 mm.
DONOTdrive with tyres worn to this limit; the
safetyof the vehicle and its occupants will be
adverselyaffected.
Tyre pressures
Tyre pressures should be checked at least
once a week with normal road use, but should
be checked DAILYif the vehicle is used
off-road.
NOTE: After off-road use, checkto make sure
there are no lumps or bulges in the tyres or
exposure of the ply or cord structure.
Check the pressures, including the spare,
when the tyres are cold (air pressure naturally
increases in warm tyres). The recommended
pressures are given in the ’Generaldata’
section.
Valve caps
Keep the valve caps screwed down firmlyto
prevent dirt from entering the valve.
WARNING
If the vehicle has been parked in strong
sunlight or is used in high ambient
temperatures, DONOTreduce tyre
pressures; instead, move the vehicle into
shade and allow the tyres to cool before
checking.
