To make sure the front and rear tyreswear evenly and last longer, it isrecommended that you swap thetyres from front to rear and vice versaat regular intervals of 5 000 to 10 000km (3 000 to 6 000 miles) as shownin the graphic.
If you have to mount a kerb, do soslowly and, if possible, approach itwith the wheels at right-angles to thekerb. Avoid steep and sharp edgedobstacles. Do not scrub the tyresidewalls when parking.
Regularly examine the tyre surfacefor cuts, foreign bodies and unevenwear. An uneven tread wear patterncould indicate faulty wheel alignment.
Tyre pressure
The pressure for your spare tyreshould be set to the highest valuegiven for your vehicle/tyre sizecombination.
A tyre pressure decal is located onthe inside of the fuel filler flap.
USING WINTER TYRES
If winter tyres are used, the tyrepressures recommended by the tyremanufacturers should be adheredto.
USING SNOW CHAINS
