NOTICE

Wheel imbalance may develop when the vehicle is driven; you will notice this by nervous steering
response. Unbalanced wheels will affect the level of tyre wear. In this case, the wheels should be
balanced again.
Incorrect wheel alignment impairs driving safety and increases tyre wear. The running gear should
be checked by a qualified workshop if tyres show excessive wear.

WARNING
If you notice unusual vibration or the car pulling to one side while the vehicle is in motion, this may
indicate that one of the tyres is damaged.

Check the tyres and wheel rims for damage.
