Instructions of maintenance
4.2.1 Wheels and tires
Proper working of the brakes depends on the state of the tires, that can change due to
wear and contamination (water, oil, mud, …).
•
Keep your wheels free of wires, hair, sand and carpet fibres.
•
Check the profile of the tyre. If the tread depth is less than 1 mm, the tyres need to be
replaced. Contact your specialist dealer for this matter.
