10.6 TYRE INSPECTION / 10.7 SPARE WHEEL / 10.8 CHANGING FLAT TYRE
While carrying out tyre rotation, check for
damaged tyres & wheels. Also get a check on
wheel alignment.
After every 30,000 kms vehicle usage, tyres
need rotation. Periodic rotation of tyres will
result in uniform tyre wear. It is however
essential to get wheel alignment checked.
After tyres have been rotated, get tyre pressures
adjusted to 32psi as indicated on door pillar.
If any such damage is found, contact
nearest Authorised Service Centre
immediately.

10.6 TYRE INSPECTION
Hazards
Objects on the road, such as potholes, pieces of
glass, metal, rocks, wood, debris, etc. can
damage a tyre. These should be safely avoided
at all possible times. Unavoidable contact with
such objects should immediately be followed by
a tyre inspection. Always look for bulges, cracks,
cuts and abnormal tyre wear, especially on edge
of tyre tread, which might be caused by a wrong
alignment or under-inflation.

10.4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING / 10.5 TYRE ROTATION
10.4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND
BALANCING
Wheel alignment and balancing are
important for safety and to optimize drive
range.
NOTE
Check the wear on your tyres at least once a
month.
If your tyres are wearing unevenly, e.g. inside
shoulder of tyre wearing faster than rest of
the tread, or if you detect excessive vibration,
get your wheel alignment and balancing
checked immediately. These conditions not
only effect life of tyres but also adversely
affect handling characteristics of car.
Replacement of tyre is needed when:
1. Wear indicators are seen at three or
more places around tyre.
2. Cord / Fabric can be seen showing
through tyres rubber.
3. Tread or sidewall is cracked, cut, or
snagged deep enough to show cord or
fabric.
4. Tyre has a bump, bulge or split.
5. Tyre has a damage, puncture or cut, that
can’t be repaired well because of size or
location of damage.
