Wheels and tyres
To ensure maximum performance and tyre life and to permit the
best tyre adjustment on the wheel rim, it is important to comply
with the following instructions for the first 200/300 km (125 -
185 mi) with new tyres:
• avoid sudden acceleration
• avoid sharp braking and steering
• drive at moderate speed on straight roads and on curves.
How to use the tyres
Important note
To ensure safe driving, the tyres must be kept in good condition.
The inflation pressure must correspond to the specified values and
must be checked only when the tyres are cold since tyre pressure
increases as tyre temperature increases.
Never reduce the pressure if the tyres are hot.
Environment
Periodically check the tyre pressure. Driving with the
tyres inflated to the correct pressure helps to reduce fuel
consumption.
Low tyre pressure can lead to overheating, internal damage and
even destruction of the tyres.
Warning
Inflating the tyres to a pressure other than that prescribed will
render the TPMS monitoring system inaccurate.
Sudden impact with pavements, potholes and other obstacles of
various types as well as long trips on rough roads can cause damage
to the tyres that is not always visible to the naked eye.
Check the tyres regularly for any signs of damage (e.g. scratches,
cuts, cracks, bulges, etc.).
If sharp objects penetrate the tyres, they can cause damage which is
only visible when the tyre is removed.
Have any damage inspected by an expert as it may considerably
reduce tyre life.
Remember that tyres deteriorate over time even if they are rarely
used or not used at all.
Cracks in the tread and side walls, possibly accompanied by
bulging, are sure signs of ageing.
