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 this condition, the bolts may break and the wheel may
come off 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 rear wheel.
• 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.

Cracks and Other Damage
Check the tread and sidewall surfaces
of tyres for cracks or other damage.
Especially check the tread for nails or
other metal pieces embedded in grooves.
Also check the gap between the inner and
outer tyres of a dual-tyre wheel for pebbles
lodged in it.
ADVICE
• When checking tyres, pay special
attention to: low air pressure;
pebbles or nails in tread grooves;
cracks or other damage on tyre
surfaces; uneven wear; and pebbles
lodged in the gap between tyres of
dual-wheel tyres.
