6. Usage and Maintenance
Warning
•
Abnormal tire pressure may cause tire burst,
resulting in accidents, personal injury or even
death.
•
Check the tire pressure once a month at least
and before long-distance driving. Make sure
the tire pressure meets the specification to
avoid accidents.
•
Insufficient tire pressure will exacerbate tire
deflection, resulting in tire overheating which
may lead to tire shelling and burst.
•
Both underinflated and overinflated tires may
cause early wear, and adversely reduce the
vehicle’s handling stability.
Tire Service Life
The service life of tire depends on tire
pressure, driving style and tire assembly condition.
If the front tires are worn more seriously than
the rear tires do, it is recommended to exchange
the tires as shown in the figure, thereby making all
the tires have the similar service life.
Warning
If the vehicle is equipped with tire pressure
monitoring system, the tire exchange or
replacement
shall
be
operated
in
an
authorized GAC Motor's dealer.
Tread Wear Marks
Indicated by arrow A is the image of the outer
circle of the tire, which is used to show the wear of
the tread. If the outer circle of the tire is worn to the
position of this image, the tire cannot be used
safely anymore and must be replaced.
The raised “tread wear indication mark” (see
arrow B) is 1.6mm high. If the worn tread pattern is
of the same height with such raised mark, the tire
cannot be used safely, and must be replaced
immediately.
