IMPORTANT Take the following precautions to prevent damage to the tyres: ❒
avoid braking suddenly, racing starts and violent impact against the curb, potholes or otherobstacles and driving for extended periods onuneven road surfaces;
❒
periodically check that the tyres have no cuts inthe side wall, abnormal swelling or irregular tyrewear;
❒
avoid travelling with the car overloaded. If youhave a puncture, stop immediately and change thetyre;
❒
tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks inthe tread rubber and at the sides are a sign ofageing. In any case, if the tyres have been on thecar for over 6 years, they should be checkedby specialised personnel. Also remember to checkthe space-saver wheel very carefully (forversions/markets, where provided);
❒
change the position of the tyres every 10-15thousand kilometres, keeping them on the sameside of the car to avoid inverting the rotationdirection;
❒
In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres,avoiding those of dubious origin;
❒
if a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve.
WARNING
The road holding qualities of the caralso depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the tyreoverheats and can be seriously
damaged.
