WARNING
The tyre replacement indicator is not a substitute for regular tyre checks, including tyre pressure checks. For additional information, refer to “Changing wheels and tyres” in the “Do-it-yourself” section of this manual. Many factors including tyre inflation, alignment, driving habits and road conditions affect tyre wear and when tyres should be replaced. Setting the tyre replacement indicators for a certain driving distance does not mean your tyres will last that long. Use the tyre replacement indicator as a guide only and always perform regular tyre checks. Failure to perform regular tyre checks, including tyre pressure checks could result in tyre failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to a collision, which could result in serious personal injury or death.
