SPARE TYRE AND WINTER TYRE

SPARE TYRE
Check the tyre conditions and pressure as needed and keep
it always available.
For replacing procedures, refer to "Changing a flat tyre" sec-
tion in this manual.
CAUTION
• After replacing the tyre, be sure to adjust the pressure to the speci-
fied pressure of the tyre. Otherwise, the suspension system may be
damaged.
WINTER TYRES
If winter tyres are used they must be fitted to all 4 wheels. Do
not exceed the maximum speed specified by the tyre
manufacturer.
When using winter tyres, the tyre pressures supplied by the
tyre manufacturer must be adhered to.
WARNING
• When you didn't fit the snow tyres before driving on snow or icy
road, drive in 4WD (4L, 4H) mode with low speed.
• The snow tyre with arrow direction marking on its side wall should
be fitted according to the arrow direction.
• The snow tyres cannot guarantee your safety on the icy and slip-
pery road. Drive with extra caution, avoiding sudden acceleration,
braking or movements of the steering wheel.
• When the snow tyres are not needed anymore, replace them with
ordinary tyres. Keep the removed snow tyres at cool and shady
place. Be careful not to contact with any oil, grease, and fuel.
CAUTIONS WHEN CHECKING THE WHEEL AND TYRE
• Mixing tyres could cause you to lose control while driving. Be sure
to use the same size and type tyres of the same manufacturer on
all wheels. If you do not use same tyres on the TOD (4 wheel
drive) system equipped vehicle, it may cause a serious damage
to the vehicle's drive system.
• Check the inflation pressure, cracks and tearing of tyres before
driving.
• Improperly tightened wheel nuts can cause the wheel to become
loose and even come off. This could lead to an accident. Be sure
to check and tighten the wheel nuts as specified before any long
journey.
• Do not use non-genuine wheel and tire. Non-genuine wheel and
tire may have inferior performance and function and dangerous
for safe driving. Also, any defects due to using them cannot be
covered by warranty.
• Be sure to check the tyres and wheel before driving. If a wheel is
damaged, the tyre inflation pressure can be decreased and the
tyre can be damaged.
• If a tyre has been impacted by a stone or any others during a
driving, have it checked by Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Au-
thorized Service Operation.
