FRAME/CHECK OF FRONT/REAR TYRES
The following procedure is applied to both tyres.
Check:
• The tyre pressure. If outside specifi cations, adjust Fig. A.
WARNING
The tyre pressure must be checked and adjusted only when
the wheel temperature corresponds to the ambient tempera-
ture.
The tyre pressure and the suspension must be adjusted ac-
cording to the total weight, including baggage, driver, pas-
senger and accessories, and considering the expected driv-
ing speed.
The use of the overloaded vehicle may cause damages to
tyres, with the risk of an accident or injuries for people.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE VEHICLE IN ANY CASE.

ately.

WARNING
If tyres are new, the grip on the road is relatively weak until
they are slightly used. Therefore, it is advisable to drive at
normal speed for the fi rst 100 km (62 mi) before driving at
higher speeds.
WARNING
Most countries have their own regulations that prescribe a
minimum depth of the tread. Always remain within the limits
set forth.
Check and balance the wheel when replacing the tyre.
