REMINDER
is usually very slow, as soon as
the tyre begins to depressurise,
carefully look for the leak
location.
Checks
Whenever checking tyre inflation,
●
check tyres for damage, foreign body
piercing, and wear.
Replace the tyre if bumps, or tread
●
or side damage are found. Tyres
must be replaced if any of the case
happens.
Replace the tyre if there are cracks on
●
its side, or if its fabric or cord can be
seen.
Replace tyres with excessive tread
●
wear.
Tyre treads are cast with wear bars.
●
When the tread is even with the wear
bar, its thickness is less than 0.06 in
(1.6 mm). The adhesion of tyres worn
to this extent is very small on wet
roads.
Tyres with exposed wear bars are
●
experiencing serious performance loss
and therefore must be replaced.
Maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, proper
●
wheel alignment also helps reduce
tread wear.
If uneven tyre wear is found, go
●
to a BYD authorised dealer or
service provider and check the wheel
alignment.
The vehicle has been balanced in
●
the factory, but tyres need to be re-
balanced after driving for a period of
time.
If there is some kind of continuous
●
vibration while driving at high speeds
(above 50 mph (80 km/h)), but not at
low speeds, go to a BYD authorised
dealer or service provider and check
the tyres.
If a tyre has been repaired, be sure to
●
re-balance it.
When installing a new tyre or replacing
●
a new wheel, always perform tyre
balancing.
CAUTION
Improper wheel balancers can
●
become loose and fall off,
which damages the vehicle
or surrounding objects during
vehicle travel.
Improper wheel balancers
●
damage the aluminium rims
of the vehicle. Therefore, it is
recommended to use original
wheel balancers.
Tyre Rotation
In order to make tyres wear the same
●
and prolong their service life, it is
recommended to rotate tyres every
6,214 miles (10,000km) and conduct
four-wheel alignment, inspection and
adjustment as well.
