–
Please note that the tread of winter tires shall
have patterns deep enough (tread depth not
less than 4 mm; otherwise, the applicability in
winter will be limited).
–
After installation of tires, check the tire
inflation pressure.
WARNING
•
Winter and summer tires are designed
according to their respective typical
lane
conditions
under
the
corresponding seasonal conditions. It is
recommended to use winter tires in
winter. At low temperatures, the
adaptability of summer tires is
significantly poorer, thereby losing road
adhesion and braking ability.
•
In severe cold conditions, if summer
tires are used, cracks may appear on the
tires, thereby completely damaging the
tires, and causing excessive tire noise
and loss of balance.
WARNING
•
Winter tires may lead to decreased
traction force of the car on dry roads,
increased road noise and shortened
service life of tread. Please pay attention
to the performance change of the car in
terms of maneuvering and braking after
the winter tires are used.
•
Please note that the maximum speed for
winter tires is relatively low. Do not
exceed the allowable maximum speed
for the tires.
•
Please note that when driving in
atmospheric temperature rising above
7°C, in order to ensure driving safety
and performance, please replace the
winter tires with summer tires in time.
•
When driving with winter tires, if a spare
tire is installed, unstable steering
characteristics may occur due to
different tires, weakening driving
stability. In this case, driving styles
need to be adjusted and driving shall be
performed carefully.
Check tire pressure
The standard tire pressure data label of the
original tire of this car is attached to the B pillar on
the driver's side.
–
Check the tire pressure value applicable to
the car from the data label (the listed pressure
values apply to both summer and winter
tires).
–
Unscrew the valve cap (if the valve cap is
missing, a new one shall be provided 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.
–
Attach the tire pressure gauge to the valve.
