installed spark plugs are in good condi-
tion. The latter can be put away for
safekeeping and used during the sum-
mer time.
Always check that the HT leads are
clean and tightly connected to the
spark plugs, distributor sensor, ignition
coil or ignition module (for injection sys-
tem). Replace rubber boots if dam-
aged.
WHEELS AND TYRES
Maintain tyre pressure at the level,
specified in table 2. Driving the vehicle
with tyre pressure other than recom-
mended results in accelerated tyre
wear, increased fuel consumption, poor
vehicle stability and driveability. In case
of repeated pressure drops, check for
air leaks through the valve. If neces-
sary, tighten the valve core or replace
it.
If pressure continues to drop with
the valve fully functional, repair the tyre
using the sealant supplied with the
vehicle and strictly observing the
instructions.
All work related to the wheel bead-
ing or balancing should be entrusted to
your dealer.
Apply to your dealer for balancing
the wheels after installing new tyres.
Rotate tyres as shown in diagram 39
to ensure their uniform wear.
Avoid driving the vehicle with the
wheels rubbing against the kerbstone
or driving at a high speed on a rough
road (with pits and bumps), for it may
damage the wheel rim and result in loss
of wheel balance or sealing of tubeless
tyres. Should you notice any vibrations
while on the road, apply to your dealer
to check wheel balance.
