Wheel condition
1- Location of the tread wear indicator
2- Tread wear indicator
Check the tyres for cuts, cracks and other damage. Replace the
tyres if there are deep cuts or cracks. Also check each tyre for
pieces of metal or pebbles.
The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous because of the
greater chance of skidding or hydroplaning. The tread depth of
the tyres must exceed 1.6 mm in order for the tyres to meet the
minimum requirement for use.
If there are tread wear indicators on the tyres, they will appear
8
in six places on the surface of the tyre as the tyre wears,
thereby indicating that the tyre no longer meets the minimum
requirement for use. When these wear indicators appear, the
tyres must be replaced with new ones.

NOTE
● The mark and the location of the tyre tread wear indicators
are different depending on the tyre manufacturer.
Replacing tyres and wheels
CAUTION
!
● Avoid using different size tyres from the one listed
and the combined use of different types of tyres, as
this can affect driving safety.
Refer to "Tyres and wheels" on page 9-15.
● Even if a wheel has the same rim size and offset as
the specified type of wheel, its shape may prevent it
from being fitted correctly. We recommend you to
consult a specialist before using wheels that you
have.
