Driving on rough roads
■
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or potholes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the cushioning
ability of the tires. In addition driving on rough roads may cause damage to the tires
themselves, as well as the vehicle' s wheels and body.
If tire inflation pressures become low while driving
■
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.
