Check on wheel
Check the four tires before driving, and regularly
check for bulge, scratches, abnormal wear,
cracks and iron nail on the tread and sidewall.
You should not drive if above phenomena exist,
and contact the authorized dealer of BAIC for
inspection and replacement.
Common causes for damage of tire:
●
The tire collides or rubs with road shoulder;
●
Drive quickly passing through pit on the road;
●
Tire pressure is too low or too high.
Potential fault of tires
Some tire damage is difficult to detect. If
abnormal vibration or deviation is found when
the vehicle is traveling, one tire may have fault.
You should go to the authorized dealer of BAIC
Motor for tire inspection as soon as possible at
this time.
Warning
●
Road adhesion of new tires may not
reach optimal state during the first 500km,
so you should drive carefully at
appropriate speed, and implement
running-in of new tires to prevent
accidents.
●
Road adhesion of tires with worn tread
wear mark may be insufficient, which will
directly affect the braking efficiency, so
these tires should be replaced.
Warning
●
You should not continue driving when
tire bulge, cracks, and other phenomena
exist. Because the tire may burst during
driving, causing a traffic accident and
injury.
●
If the vehicle travels at high speed when
the tire pressure is obviously insufficient,
the tire will deform continuously, which
can easily lead to overheating and tire
burst.
●
Avoid using tire of age more than six
years; if you have to use it, then you must
be very cautious when driving, and driving
should be at low speed.
●
Don’t use any used wheel or used tire of
which the source is unknown, because
though there is no visible damage on such
wheel or tire, may be it has been damaged,
and when the vehicle is running, they may
get the vehicle out of control and cause
traffic accident.
