Recommendations. Check your tire pressure periodically. High or low pressure leads to premature tire wear, deterioration of vehicle handling and stability.
We recommend using a foot pump with a built-in pressure gauge.
Figure 4.1. Wheel rotation diagram
To ensure that the tires wear evenly, every 15,000 km (during routine maintenance) rearrange the wheels according to the diagram in the picture 4.1. After the first 15,000 km of mileage and then after every 30,000 km, balance the wheels and check the wheel alignment angles. To do this, contact a specialized workshop.
Attention! All wheel repair work should be carried out in specialized workshops. Check that all wheels are balanced after repair.
Warning! Operating tires with worn tread may result in an accident.
1. Unscrew the cap from the valve.
2. Check the air pressure in the tire. To do this, reset the pressure gauge readings to zero by pressing the special button on the pressure gauge body..
3. …connect the pressure gauge to the valve and press it with the tip of the pressure gauge.
4. If the pressure is less than required, connect the hose tip to the valve and pump air, monitoring the pressure on the pressure gauge.
5. If the pressure is higher than required, press the special protrusion of the pressure gauge onto the valve tip and release air from the tire. Measure the pressure with a pressure gauge. Repeat these operations until the pressure returns to normal.
Note: This is what the special protrusion on the pressure gauge looks like for releasing air from the tire.
6. If you notice that the air pressure in your tires is constantly dropping, try tightening the valve core more tightly using the cap and key.
Note: This is what the protective cap 1 looks like with the key for tightening the valve 2.
Caution! To avoid contamination of the valve cores, do not operate the vehicle without protective caps. If the caps have been lost, be sure to install new ones.
7. To check the valve for leaks, wet the valve opening. If air bubbles appear, replace the valve core.
8. Measure the remaining tread depth with a caliper. If the tread depth is 1.6 mm or less, replace the tire.
9. If you don't have a caliper at hand, you can check the tread depth visually using the tire wear indicators, which are solid transverse stripes that appear on the tread when it is at its maximum wear.
Note: The locations of the indicators are marked on the sidewall of the tire with triangles or the abbreviation "TWI" (depending on which designation system the tire manufacturer uses).
10. To check the wheel tightening, unscrew the screw that secures the decorative cap to the wheel disk…
11. …and remove the cap.
12. Check the tightness of the wheel nuts and, if necessary, tighten them to a torque of 88–108 N·m.
