MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE
Wheels & Tyres
Tyres :
Check for inflation and condition of your car tyres periodically.
Inflation :
Check the pressure in the tyres when they are cold.
Refer to the tyre information label fitted on the driver side doorpost for
correct cold tyre pressure.
Recommended Tyre Pressures :
(with cold tyres)
Front/Rear
30 PSI (2.1 bar) / 28 PSI (1.9 bar) -165/65 R 13
Front/Rear
28 PSI (1.9 bar) / 24 PSI (1.6 bar) - 165/65 R 14
You should have your own tyre pressure gauge and use it at all times.
This makes it easier for you to tell if pressure loss is caused by a tyre
problem and not by variation between gauges.
Keeping the tyres properly inflated gives you the best combination of
riding comfort, handling and tyre life.
Over inflation of tyres makes the car ride bumpy and harsh. Tyres are
more prone to uneven wear and damage from road hazards.
Under inflated tyres reduce your comfort in car handling and are prone
to failures due to high temperature. They also cause uneven wear and
more fuel consumption.
Inspection :
Every time you check inflation pressure, you should also
examine tyres for leakage, damage, foreign objects & wear.
