Black plate (103,1)
[ Edit: 2012/ 1/ 17 Model: V36-D ]road conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the tire
replacement indicator for a certain driving
distance does not mean your tires will last
that long. Use the tire replacement indicator

checks, including tire pressure checks could
result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to a collision,
