NOTE
Always check tyre pressure when
l
tyres are cold.
Warm tyres normally exceed
l
recommended pressures. Don't
release air from warm tyres to adjust
the pressure.
Underinflation can cause reduced
l
fuel economy, uneven and
accelerated tyre wear, and poor
sealing of the tyre bead, which will
deform the wheel and cause
separation of tyre from rim.
Overinflation can produce a harsh
l
ride, uneven and accelerated tyre
wear, and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
Keep your tyre pressure at the
correct levels. If one frequently
needs inflating, have it inspected.
qTyre Rotation
To equalize tread wear, rotate the tyres if
irregular wear develops. According to the
scheduled maintenance charts.Refer to
Scheduled Maintenance on page 8-3.
During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.

Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY)
spare tyre in rotation.
