■ Protective measures for wheel malfunction

When encountering curbs or similar obstacles, the vehicle should drive as slowly as possible parallel to the
obstacles.

Be careful not to let the tires come into contact with grease, oil and fuel.

Regularly check the damage status of tires (such as cuts, cracks, or bulging damage), and remove debris
embedded in the tire pattern.
■ Tire storage instructions

Before disassembling the tire, make a mark on the tire to indicate the rotation direction of the tire. When
installing the tire, replace it according to the mark to keep the rotation direction and dynamic balance of the
wheel unchanged.

Removed wheels and tires should be stored in a cool, dry place, preferably in a dark place without sunlight.
■ Concealed damage

Damage to tires and rims is often not easy to find. If abnormal vibration or deviation of the vehicle is
detected during driving, it indicates that a certain wheel is faulty. In this case, you should go to China FAW
authorized Hong Qi dealer to check the wheel as soon as possible.
■ When to replace the tire
Tires should be replaced under any of the following conditions :

When the tires have cuts, deep cracks or bulging.

When the tires leak air frequently or when tire damage cannot be repaired.
■ Tire life
Avoid using tires with age over 6 years as possible as you can. If necessary, drive prudently at low speed.
■ Driving on snowy roads
If the snow tire tread wear depth reaches 4mm or more, the snow tire slip resistance will be significantly
reduced.
