Owner manual

❒ Avoid overloading the vehicle when travelling: this
may cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒ If a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and change
it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, suspensions
and steering system;
❒ Tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks
in the tread rubber are a sign of ageing. In any case,
if the tyres have been on the car for over 6 years,
they should be checked by specialised personnel, to
see if they can still be used. Also remember to
check the spare wheel;
❒ In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres,
avoiding those of dubious origin;
❒ If a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve;
❒ To allow even wear between the front and rear
tyres, it is advisable to change them over every 10-
15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same
side of the car so as to not reverse the direction of
rotation.

WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring to use temperatures
exceeding 150°C since the mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the tyre overheats and this can cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Remember that road holding depends also on the correct tyre inflating pressure.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the tyres, moving them from the right of the car to the left and
vice versa.
