Maintenance
(Continued)
WARNING
•
Make sure to close the tire infla-
tion valve cap.When the valve is
opened, dirt or moisture may get
into the valve core and cause air
leakage. When a valve cap is
lost, immediately buy a new one,
and close the valve.
-
Underinflated tire
Severe under-inflation of tire
may cause severe build-up of
heat, causing blowouts, tread
separation and other failures.
This may result in the loss of
vehicle control, leading to a
severe injury or death. This risk
may increase when the weather
is hot, or when the vehicle
drives for a long period of time
at a high speed.
WARNING
-
Tire Inflation
Over-inflation or under-inflation
may reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to a sudden tire failure.
This may result in a loss of vehi-
cle control and a potential
injury.
CAUTION
•
Under-inflation
also
may
result in excessive tire wear-
put, poor handling and inferi-
or fuel economy. Also, wheel
deformation may be resulted.
Maintain your tire pressure at
the recommended level. When
your tire frequently needs to
be inflated, have it checked by
an authorized EQUUS dealer.
NOTICE
-
Tire pressure
Always observe the following:
• Measure the tire pressure when
it is cold. (When the vehicle
does not drive for the last 3
hours, or when it drives shorter
than 1 mile (1.6 km), after start-
ing up.)
• Check the pressure of a spare
tire whenever checking the pres-
sures of other tires.
•
Over-inflation
may
cause
harsh driving, excessive tire
wear-out, especially for the
central tread of a tire, and
more possibilities of damage
from road hazards.
•
Never overload your vehicle. Be
careful not to overload on the
luggage rack, when your vehicle
is equipped with one.
NOTICE
•
The pressure of a warm tire is
normally higher than the one of
a cold tire by 4 to 6 psi (28 to 41
kPa). Do not release air from a
warm tire to adjust the pressure.
Otherwise, the tire will be under-
inflated.
• Worn-out, old tires may cause an
accident. When your tread is
badly worn out, or when tires are
damaged, replace them.
