Tire wear
Punctured tires
Your vehicle is fitted with tubeless tires, which
may not leak immediately if penetrated by a
sharp object, provided the object remains in the
tire.
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. Punctured or damaged tires must be
permanently repaired, where possible within
industry legislation by a qualified technician, or
replaced as soon as possible.
Tires fitted as original equipment have wear
indicators moulded into the tread pattern.
When the tread has worn down to 1/16 inch
(1.6
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
in the market you are driving in.
Highway hazards
No matter how carefully you drive, there is
always the possibility of a puncture on the
highway. In this event, drive slowly to the
closest safe area out of traffic. This may further
damage the flat tire, but your safety is more
important.
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 1/16 inch
(1.6
mm). DO NOT drive with tires worn to this
limit, the safety of the vehicle and occupants
will be adversely affected.
If you feel a sudden vibration or ride
disturbance while driving, or you suspect that
your tire or vehicle has been damaged,
immediately reduce your speed. Drive with
caution and safely pull off the road at the
earliest opportunity. Stop and inspect the tire
for damage. If the tire is under-inflated or
damaged, remove the tire and wheel and
replace it with your spare. If you cannot detect
a cause, have the vehicle towed to the nearest
vehicle or tire retailer to have the vehicle
inspected.
NOTE: After off-road use, check to make sure
there are no lumps, cuts 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.
