Maintenance

Tire replacement

If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear

indicator will appear as a solid band

across the tread. This shows there is

less than 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) of tread

left on the tire. Replace the tire when

this happens.

Do not wait for the band to appear

across the entire tread before replac-

ing the tire.

• The ABS works by comparing the

speed of the wheels. The tire size

affects wheel speed. When replac-

ing tires, all 4 tires must use the

same size originally supplied with

the vehicle. Using tires of a differ-

ent size can cause the ABS(Anti-

lock Brake System) and

ESC(Electronic Stability Control) to

work irregularly.

Compact spare tire replacement

A compact spare tire has a shorter

tread life than a regular size tire.

Replace it when you can see the

tread wear indicator bars on the tire.

The replacement compact spare tire

should be the same size and design

tire as the one provided with your

new vehicle and should be mounted

on the same compact spare tire

wheel. The compact spare tire is not

designed to be mounted on a regular

size wheel, and the compact spare

tire wheel is not designed for mount-

ing a regular size tire.
