6. Use and maintenance
-
Please note that the winter tire tread shall
have sufficient pattern depth (the tire
tread depth shall not be less than 4 mm;
when it is less than 4 mm, the applicability
is limited in winter).
-
After installing the tire, check the tire
inflation pressure.
WARNING
● Winter and summer tires are designed
according to their respective typical
lane driving conditions under the
corresponding seasonal conditions.
It is recommended to use winter
tires in winter. At low temperatures,
the adaptability of summer tire is
significantly poorer, resulting in a
loss of road adhesion and braking
ability.
● In severe cold conditions, if the
summer tires are used, cracks
may appear on the tires, which can
completely damage them and cause
excessive tire noise and loss of
balance.
WARNING
● After using the winter tire, there
may be reduced driving traction
on dry roads, increased road noise
and shortened tread life. Please pay
attention to the changes in vehicle
handling and braking after the use of
winter tire.
● Please note that the maximum
speed applicable to the winter tire is
relatively low, and do not exceed the
maximum speed allowed by the tire.
● Please note that when the driving
weather rises above 7°C, please
replace the summer tire in time
t o e n s u r e d r i v i n g s a f e t y a n d
performance.
● When driving with winter tires, if a
spare wheel is installed, unstable
turning characteristics will be
produced due to different tires, which
will weaken the driving stability. It is
necessary to adjust the driving style
and drive carefully.
Check tire pressure
The standard pressure data label of the
original tires of this vehicle is attached to the
driver’s side B-pillar.
-
Unscrew the valve cap (if the valve cap is
lost, it shall be added in time).
-
A high-quality tire pressure gauge is
required to check the tire pressure. It is
impossible to determine whether the tire
pressure is appropriate only by visual
inspection.
-
Install the tire pressure gauge on the
valve.
-
When conducting the tire pressure
inspection, the tire must be in a cold state.
When the temperature increases, the tire
pressure can be slightly higher than the
specified value, and it is not necessary to
reduce the tire pressure.
