Isuzu N Series 2008 Owner's Manual page 423

The wheels have a major influence upon the safety and comfort of driving. Should any
wheel fall off the vehicle, it not only causes the vehicle to break down on the road and
block other traffic, but it may also lead to a serious accident. We strongly recommend
that you check the wheels and tyres daily and maintain them in satisfactory condition.
WARNING
• If you find anything abnormal with wheel bolts, wheel nuts or disc wheels when
you check them, avoid driving the vehicle and contact the nearest Isuzu Dealer
as soon as possible.
• If you find anything abnormal on the left wheels, check the right wheels carefully
for similar defects. A defect on a wheel may be a sign of defects on other
wheels.

Air Pressure
Too low or too high a tyre air pressure not
only affects the ride or causes damage to
the cargo but also causes abnormal heat
buildup, premature wear, a tyre puncture,
or may even cause the tyre to burst.
• Use an appropriate tyre air pressure
gauge when measuring the air
pressure of a tyre. Tyre air pressure
should be measured when the tyre is
cold, or before the vehicle is driven.
(After driving, tyre air pressure
increases by about 10%.)
• As the tyre air pressure varies
depending on the vehicle model and
tyre size, refer to the air pressure
label on the driver's door opening
frame or the tyre air pressure tables
on the following pages.
• Also check the air pressure of the
spare tyre using a tyre air pressure
gauge at the intervals specified by the
Maintenance Schedule.
