REGULAR MAINTENANCE RECORD

checks. The initial inspection should be made after the first month’s use, thereafter every six months. 

Your dealer may charge a fee for this.

removed for access

Inspecting Tire Tread 

 

Please check the tread depth regularly. Replace the tires when the tread depth is less than 0.5 mm.
