Information on driving

If the vehicle is heavily loaded, check the tire

pressures and correct them if necessary.

While driving, pay attention to vibrations,

noises and unusual handling characteristics,

e.g. pulling to one side. This may indicate that

the wheels or tires are damaged. If you sus-

pect that a tire is defective, reduce your

speed immediately. Stop the vehicle as soon

as possible to check the wheels and tires for

damage. Hidden tire damage could also be

causing the unusual handling characteristics.

If you find no signs of damage, have the tires

and wheels checked at a qualified specialist

workshop.
