Observe the correct tyre pres-
sures especially with high payloads
and when driving at high speeds.
Under-inflation reduces stabil-
ity, increases rolling resistance,
accelerates tyre wear and causes
preliminary damage that may lead
to accidents.
If you have to mount a kerb, do so
slowly and, if possible, approach
it with the wheels at right angles.
Avoid steep and sharp edged
obstacles. Do not scrub the tyre
sidewalls when parking.
Regularly examine the tyre surface
for cuts, foreign bodies or uneven
wear. An uneven tread wear pattern
could indicate faulty wheel align-
ment.
Please note that tyre performance
and safety tend to drop after the
tread depth has reached 3 mm. The
risk of aquaplaning is considerably
higher with less tread.
Contact your local Authorised
Dealer for advice about dis-
posal of worn tyres.
