Tire Loading
The vehicle maximum load must not
exceed the load carrying capacity of
the tires on your vehicle. You will not
exceed the tires load carrying capacity
if you adhere to the loading condi-
tions, tire size, and cold tire inflation
pressures specified on the Tire and
Loading Information placard and in
the “Vehicle Loading” section of this
manual.
Alignment and Balance
Improper alignment may result in:
• Excessive tire wear
• Uneven tire wear (feathering and one
sided wear)
• V ehicle directional pull (left or right)
Tires may also cause the vehicle to
pull left or right. Alignment will not
correct this problem. Take your ve-
hicle to an authorized Chery dealer for
repair.
Tire Chains
Tire chains are used during heavy
snow and winter conditions and can
only be used on the drive wheels.
WARNING!
Vehicle speed must not exceed 50
km/h when using tire chains.
If equipped with wheel covers, they
should be removed before installing
tire chains. The wheel covers should
be reinstalled once the tire chains
have been removed.
Tire Pressure
The proper tire inflation pressure is
listed on a placard either on the face
of the driver’s door or on the driver’s
side door jam. Proper tire inflation
pressure is essential to the safe and
satisfactory operation of your vehicle.
Three primary areas are affected by
improper tire pressure:
Safety
• Improperly inflated tires are danger-
ous and can cause accidents.
• Under inflation increases tire flexing
and can result in tire failure.
• Over inflation reduces a tire’s ability
to cushion shock.
• Unequal tire pressure can cause
steering problems.
• Objects on the road and chuckholes
can cause damage that result in tire
failure.
Ride Comfort and Vehicle Stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a
comfortable ride. Over inflation pro-
duces a jarring and uncomfortable
ride.
