TIRE AND WHEEL

GENERAL INFORMATION

Precautions

 Use tires only with the standard specification and type, because they have excellent reliability and skid 

resistance. Non-standard tire may lead to vehicle malfunction, causing accident or even serious injury and 
death.

 Contact surface of rim and tire should be cleaned before installing a new tire.
 When installing the wheel bolts, firstly, pre-tighten the bolts by hand, and then tighten them to the specified 

torque with a torque wrench.

 Do not apply grease to the wheel bolts.
 Some bad driving habits will shorten the life of tire:

- Rapid acceleration
- Depress brake pedal suddenly and firmly
- High-speed driving
- Turn at excessive speed
- Striking curbs or other obstacles
- Tire pressure is too high or too low when driving vehicle

Tire Identification

 Letter and number code of tire type, size, load index and 

speed level are stamped on the side wall of tire as shown 
in the illustration.
