Vehicle Care

The tire must be replaced when the tread
wear indicator (1) appears. When the tread
depth is equal to or less than 1.6 mm due to
wear, the tread wear indicator will appear
between the tread grooves.
Caution
Do not drive the vehicle in case of tire
wear or damage. Worn or damaged tires
may cause the vehicle to go out of
control and cause a crash, resulting in
personal injury and damage to the
vehicle or other property.
Tire Rotation
The front tires and the rear tires have
different functions and therefore have
different levels of wear. The front tires wear
faster than the rear tires. In order to
prolong the tire life and avoid uneven
tread wear:
1. Conduct tire rotation per maintenance
regulations in the manual.
2. Keep proper tire pressure.
3. Check nuts/bolts for tightening.
Caution
Using the wrong replacement wheels or
wheel bolts on your vehicle can be
dangerous. It could affect the braking and
handling of the vehicle, make the tires
lose air and make you lose control of the
vehicle. You could have a crash in which
you or others could be injured. Always
use the correct wheel and wheel bolts for
replacement.
If equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system, after tire rotation or tire
replacement, see your dealer to relearn the
tire pressure.
Tire Chains
Tire chains should only be used for
emergencies or in areas clearly defined by
law and should be installed on the drive
wheels.
Be especially careful when driving a vehicle
equipped with tire chains. When tires are
installed with tire chains, the
maneuverability of the vehicle is poor, and
the tire chain may damage the vehicle tire,
suspension or vehicle body. Therefore, use
cable tire chains whenever possible to
