SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
• Insufficiently inflated or worn-out tyres are highly dangerous as they easily skid
and can even burst. Should they burst, the tyres may burn and this could cause
a fire in the vehicle.
• If you drive on under-inflated or flat tyres, the wheel bolts will be placed under
excessive stress. Under such conditions, the bolts may break and the wheel
may detach from the vehicle, possibly causing an accident.
CAUTION
• Over-inflated tyres result in a harsh ride and are likely to cause damage to the
cargo. Under-inflated tyres build up heat and could burst. Always keep the
tyres of your vehicle adjusted at the standard air pressures.
ADVICE
• There should not be a difference in air pressure between the inside and outside
tyres on a dual-tyre wheel.
• It is not easy to visually identify an under-inflated dual-wheel tyre or low aspect
ratio tyre (aspect ratio at 70% or 75%). Always use a tyre air pressure gauge to
check the air pressure of any tyre.
• If your vehicle is equipped with aluminum wheels, use an extension attached
to the inner tyre valve together with a standard tyre air pressure gauge or use
a special air pressure gauge when checking the air pressure of a dual-wheel's
inner tyre. This facilitates checking.
