7-3 DIY Maintenance 217
WARM TIP

Keep proper tyre pressure to avoid:

Low tyre pressure (underinflated);

Excessive wear;

Abnormal wear;

Heavy steering;

Overheated tyre, resulting in air leakage;

Tyre bead sealing performance reduced;

Wheel deformed / separated from tyre;

High tyre pressure (overinflated);

Control difficulty;

Excessive wear of tyre tread centre;

A wear mark is provided inside the tyre tread. When the tyre tread is worn to this mark,
you will see a strip sign stretching across the tyre tread. The strip sign means that the
thickness of tyre tread is less than 1.6 mm. A tyre worn to this degree has very small
adhesive force on a wet and slippery road. If three or more wear marks appear on the
tyre tread, the corresponding tyre should be replaced.
Maintenance

In addition to proper inflating, correct wheel alignment is helpful to reducing wear of
tyre tread. It is recommended to contact a BYD authorised service provider for
checking the wheel alignment status if any uneven wear of tyre is found.

Balance test of tyres has been done before delivery of the vehicle. If you feel a kind of
continuous vibration when driving, it is recommended to contact a BYD authorised
service provider for inspection. If any tyre was repaired or replaced before, carry out
dynamic balance test of the tyres.
