Service and Maintenance

Replacement of Wheel
Replace any bent, cracked or badly rusted
or corroded wheels. If the wheel nuts
become loose frequently, replace the
wheel, wheel hub or wheel nuts. If the
wheel leaks air, replace it. If any of the con-
ditions above occurs, consult your Geely
Service Station. They know which type of
wheel should be used. The new wheel
should be with the same load capacity,
diameter, width and eccentricity as those of
the replaced wheel. The installation method
should also be identical. If you need to
replace any wheel, wheel nut or the sensor
of the tire pressure monitor system (TPMS),
replace them with new Geely genuine
replacements only. This ensures that the
wheel, wheel nut and the sensor of the tire
pressure monitor system match the vehicle.
It is dangerous to use incorrect
wheels and wheel nuts on the vehi-
cle. This may affect the braking and han-
dling performances of the vehicle, leading
to air leakage of the tire and causing the
vehicle to lose control. This may lead to an
accident, causing an injury to you or other
people. Therefore, be sure to use correct
wheels and wheel nuts for replacement.
Using incorrect wheels may also
cause problems, such as life of bear-
ings, cooling of brakes, calibration of
speedometer or odometer, aiming of head-
lights, height of bumpers, ground clearance
of vehicle, clearances between tires/tire
chains and vehicle body and chassis, etc.
Using the Used Wheel
It is also dangerous to install used wheel on
this vehicle. You do not know how it was
used and how far it has traveled previously.
It may suddenly fail and cause an accident.
If you need to replace a wheel, be sure to
use a new genuine wheel.
Tire Chain
Note: Tire chains are not provided for this
vehicle. The following information is for ref-
erence only.
You can determine whether chains need to
be added depending on the actual road
demand.
When tire chains are used, avoid a fully
loaded vehicle, if at all possible. Also, drive
at low speeds cautiously. Failure to do so
may damage the vehicle or affect the han-
dling performance of the vehicle.
When installing tire chains, you must use
chains that match the tire size of your vehi-
cle and install them by strictly following the
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not use chains on dry road sur-
faces.
