4. Usage and Maintenance
Tread Wear Marks
- The raised “tread wear indication mark” (see
arrow A) is 1.6mm high. If the worn tread pattern
is of the same height with such raised mark, the
tire cannot be used safely, and must be replaced
immediately.
- Arrow B is the pattern of external circumference,
which is used for directing the position of "tread
wear indication mark” raised on the bottom of tire
tread pattern groove.
Caution
Sudden turning, acceleration and
emergency braking can cause tires to wear
out faster. Try to avoid the above driving
models as far as possible.
Wheel Balance
The wheels of a new vehicle have been balanced,
however, during the running process, the wheels
may be out of balance due to various influences,
which can be perceived from the shaking of
steering mechanism.
The imbalance of wheel will cause excessive wear
of steering system, wheel suspension mechanism
and tire, so that the wheel shall be rebalanced.
In addition, if a new tire is installed or the tire is
repaired, the wheel must also be rebalanced.
Incorrect Wheel Alignment
The misalignment of wheels will cause uneven
excessive wear of tires, and affect the traveling
safety; if uneven excessive wear of tires is found,
go to GAC MOTOR dealer to inspect the wheel
alignment as soon as possible.
