6. Use and maintenance
New tires and wheels
-
The new tires and wheels must be
carefully selected to ensure that their size,
load range, rated speed and structure
type are the same as the original tires as
much as possible.
-
Do not replace only one tire separately,
but at least replace two tires on the same
axle at the same time.
-
Do not mix tires of different sizes or types,
and do not mix summer, all-season and
winter tires.
-
After each wheel installation, check
whether the wheel bolt tightening torque
(125±10 N•m) meets the requirements.
Non-full-size spare tire
Spare tires and standard tires are different
in aspects such as structure, pattern,
speed rating and load index, and cannot be
exchanged.
After emergency use of the spare tire, it is
necessary to drive safely to the GAC Motor
authorized shop or wheel repair shop for full-
size tire replacement as soon as possible to
avoid driving safety hazards caused by long-
term use of the spare tire.
WARNING
● The spare tire can only be used
for temporary emergency, and the
maximum driving speed shall not
exceed 80 km/h.
● The storage life of spare tire is 6
years, and it is forbidden to use it
beyond the expiration date.
Summer tire
In rainy summer, the tire tread depth directly
affects the driving safety of the vehicle on rainy
days. There is a high risk of water slip when
the summer tire tread depth is less than 3 mm.
Winter tire
The winter tire still has good grip performance
when the road is covered with ice and snow.
The special tread rubber design makes the
tire less affected by the low temperature
environment and has excellent braking ability,
which ensures the driving safety of the vehicle.
-
Use winter tires on all four wheels.
-
Use only radial winter tires approved for
this vehicle and of the same size, load
range and speed rating as the original
tires.
