Life of tires
Direction of rotation
Checking tire inflation pressure
The service life of a tire is dependent upon
varying factors including but not limited to:
Unidirectional tires offer added advantag-
es, such as better hydroplaning perfor-
mance. To benefit, however, you must
make sure the tires rotate in the direction
specified.

Check the tires for punctures from

Check to see whether air is leaking from
the valves or from around the rim.

Tires and spare tire should be replaced after
six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
Regularly check your tire pressure at inter-
vals of no more than 14 days.
Correct the tire pressure only when tires
are cold.
!
Keep unmounted tires in a cool, dry
place with as little exposure to light as
possible. Protect tires from contact
with oil, grease and gasoline.
If the tires are warm, you should only cor-
rect the tire pressure if it is too low for cur-
rent operating conditions.
A table on the fuel filler flap lists the spec-
ified tire inflation pressures for warm and
cold tires as well as for various operating
conditions.
