When Encountering Tire
Puncturing
Tire puncturing is not often seen while driving.
This is particularly true when the tires are
properly maintained. If a tire leaks, it could be
very slow. However, once tire puncturing is
encountered, the phenomena that occur and the
suggested measures for coping with them are as
follows:
If a front tire is punctured, the drag effect of the
flat tire will make the vehicle deviate to its side.
At this time, you should immediately lift off the
accelerator pedal and tightly hold the steering
wheel. Steer the vehicle to keep it in the original
lane and lightly depress the brake to stop the
vehicle in the emergency lane or a safe place.
If a rear tire is punctured, you should release the
accelerator pedal. Turn the steering wheel to
your desired driving direction so as to keep
control over the vehicle. It could be very bumpy
and noisy, but you can still control the vehicle.
Lightly depress the brake to stop the vehicle in
the emergency lane or a safe place.
Snow chains
Do NOT install any snow chain which is not
consented by BAIC. Otherwise, it may damage
the brake parts.
Unsuitable snow chains will damage the tires,
rims, suspension, brake, and body of the vehicle.
Only snow chains recommended by an
authorized BAIC dealership and tested by BAIC
can be used. In the use of snow chains, pay 4
attention to the following requirements:
1. The snow chain can be installed only on the
driving wheel;
2. Follow the tightening instructions for the
installing of snow chains and the vehicle speed
limits under various road conditions;
3. Don’t drive at speed>50km/h.
4. To avoid damage to tires and the excessive
wear of snow chain, when driving on snow-free
road, be sure to remove the snow chain.
