condenser f or leaves, insects, and

To saf ely operate your vehicle, your
tyres must be the proper type and
size, in good condition with adequate
tread, and correctly inf lated.
The f ollowing pages give more
detailed inf ormation on how to take
care of your tyres and what to do
when they need to be replaced.Keeping the tyres properly inf lated
provides the best combination of
handling, tread lif e, and riding
comf ort.
Underinf lated tyres wear unevenly,
adversely affect handling and fuel
economy, and are more likely to
fail from being...

While tubeless tyres have some
ability to self -seal if they are
punctured, you should look closely
for punctures if a tyre starts losing
pressure. You should get your own tyre
pressure gauge and use it whenever
you check your tyre pressures. This
will make it easier f or you to tell if a
pressure loss is due to a tyre
problem and not due to a variation
between gauges. If you check air pressures when the
tyres are hot [driven f or several
kilometers (miles)], you will see
readings 30 to 40 kPa (0.3 to...

CONT INUED
To help increase tyre lif e and
distribute wear more evenly, rotate
the tyres every 10,000 km (6,250
miles). Move the tyres to the
positions shown in the chart each
time they are rotated. The above
illustration shows how the tyres
should be rotated. In addition to proper inf lation,
correct wheel alignment helps to
decrease tyre wear. If you f ind a tyre
is worn unevenly, have your dealer
check the wheel alignment.
Have your dealer check the tyres if
you f eel a consistent vibration while...
