Tires
Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specification. Low tire inflation pressures
will result in overheating and possible failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may result in reduced traction or tire
failure.
✽ NOTICE
Never exceed the maximum tire inflation pressure shown on the tires.
WARNING
- Underinflated or overinflated tires can cause poor handling, loss of
vehicle control, and sudden tire failure leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. Always check the tires for proper inflation before driving. For
proper tire pressures, refer to chapter 9, “Tires and wheels”.
- Driving on tires with no or insufficient tread is dangerous. Worn-out
tires can result in loss of vehicle control, collisions, injury, and even death.
Worn-out tires should be replaced as soon as possible and should never be used
for driving. Always check the tire tread before driving your vehicle. For further
information and tread limits, refer to chapter 8, “Tires and wheels”.
