The mechanism located on the king pin
table moves the steering movements to
the steering mechanism above the axles
with a tie rod. The lubrication and main-
tenance process has to do according to
the user manuals of the steering system.
If the steering system is not
used according to the user
manual or maintenance opera-
tion is not made according to
the user manual, your vehicle
might be out of the warranty
conditions.

3.10. Tires
When you are choosing tires, the first cri-
teria are the load capacity index. Be sure
that the load capacity index is suitable
for your vehicle.
Tire manufacturers produce different
types of tires according to the purposes
of their use such as highway use, off-
road or mixed-use. Please choose the
correct type of tires according to the road
conditions that you will use the vehicle.
Choose the low decibel as soon as pos-
sible version. Tires as possible as having
to Class A fuel efficiency level and brak-
ing on wet surfaces according to EU tire
label stickers.
You can see the EU tire labels
of the tires which were used in
your vehicle on our website.
In dual/twin line wheeled vehicles, the
tires must be matched properly accord-
ing to their diameters. The tread depths
on the adjacent tires shall not be differ-
ent more than 5 mm. Furthermore, the
newly coated tires and partially worn
tires shall not be used side-by-side in re-
lation to the structure and type of the ve-
hicle. Otherwise, driving safety will be
disrupted. In such tires, though the tread
depths are seen, it must be deduced that
the tire diameters are different and the
tires exceeding the radius differences by
10 mm must not be used side-by-side.
Wrong matching will lead to excess
shape deformation of the larger tire by
carrying more load than necessary. In
such a case, the wearing will accelerate
and reveal the risk of early wearing of
the tire. This case must be considered
whenever radial and transverse layered
tires are used side-by-side.
