Wheels And Tyres; Tyre Inflation Pressure; Tyre Pressure - SSANGYONG MUSSO Owner's Manual

You should therefore avoid :
• Frequent repeated cold starts.
• Actuation of the starter for an unnec-
essarily long time during starting (fuel is
injected during the starting procedure).
• Allowing the tank to become empty (an
irregular fuel supply leads to overheat-
ing)
• Starting the engine by pushing or tow-
ing (unburned fuel may enter the cata-
lytic converter) : use jump leads.
Have all maintenance work carried out by a
Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Autho-
rized Service Operation. You can then be
certain that all components of the vehicle's
electrical, injection and ignition system will
be operating correctly, that your vehicle has
a low level of pollutant emission and that the
catalytic converter system will have a long
life.

WHEELS AND TYRES

Factory-fitted tyres are matched to the chas-
sis and offer optimum driving, comfort and
safety. Consult your Ssangyong Dealer or
Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation
before changing over to different tyres or
rims and obtain their advice as regards tech-
nical possibilities. Use of unsuitable tyres or
rims may lead to accidents.

Tyre Inflation Pressure

Maintaining the specified tyre pressure is
essential for driver comfort, driving safety
and long tyre life. Check the tyre pressure,
including the spare wheel, at least every 14
days and prior to any long journey. The tyres
should be checked in a cold condition using
an accurate tyre pressure gauge.

Increased pressure resulting from tyre
warm-up must not be reduced, otherwise
the pressure may drop below the permis-
sible minimum.
Securely retighten valve caps after check-
ing pressure.
Incorrect inflation pressures will increase
tyre wear and will impair safety, vehicle han-
dling, comfort and fuel economy.
If the pressure is too low, this can result in
considerable tyre warm-up and internal dam-
age, leading to tread separation and even
to tyre blowout at high speeds.
Hidden tyre damage is not eliminated by sub-
sequently adjusting the inflation pressure.
