Maintenance07
The pressure of a warm tire isnormally higher than the one of
a cold tire by 4 to 6 psi (28 to 41
kPa). Do not release air from a
warm tire to adjust the pressure.
Otherwise, the tire will be under-
inflated.
(Continued)(Continued)
Make sure to close the tire infla-
tion valve cap. When the valve is
opened, dirt or moisture may get
into the valve core and cause air
leakage. When a valve cap is
lost, immediately buy a new one,
and close the valve.
- Tire pressure
Always observe the following:
Measure the tire pressure when it is cold. (When the vehicle
does not drive for the last 3
hours, or when it drives shorter
than 1 mile (1.6 km), after start-
ing up.)
Check the pressure of a spare tire whenever checking the pres-
sures of other tires.
Never overload your vehicle. Be careful not to overload on the
luggage rack, when your vehicle
is equipped with one.
Worn-out, old tires may cause an accident. When your tread is
badly worn out, or when tires are
damaged, replace them.
NOTICE
NOTICE
- Underinflated tire
Severe under-inflation of tire
may cause severe build-up of
heat, causing blowouts, tread
separation and other failures.
This may result in the loss of
vehicle control, leading to a
severe injury or death. This risk
may increase when the weather
is hot, or when the vehicle
drives for a long period of time
at a high speed.
WARNING
- Tire Inflation
Over-inflation or under-inflation
may reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to a sudden tire failure.
This may result in a loss of vehi-
cle control and a potential
injury.
WARNING
Under-inflation also mayresult in excessive tire wear-
put, poor handling and inferi-
or fuel economy. Also, wheel
deformation may be resulted.
Maintain your tire pressure at
the recommended level. When
your tire frequently needs to
be inflated, have it checked by
an authorized EQUUS dealer.
Over-inflation may cause harsh driving, excessive tire
wear-out, especially for the
central tread of a tire, and
more possibilities of damage
from road hazards.
CAUTION
