Wheel and tire

Notice

The wrong tire size will gave rise to
contradiction between tires and body .If
you replace 145 / 65 RB tires with 155 /
65 RB ones; you need to alter steering
device components. Whenever replace
original type tires with other type ones,
you should consult chery automobile
guest service station service station.

Tire inflation
Measure tire pressure with the precise tire
gauge under low temperature..The
specified tire pressure is necessary for

driving comfort, traveling security and
tire life lengthening. Check the pressure
of tires (including wheel spare wheel)
every other 14 days or before
long-distance travel.

After air pressure examination, tighten up
the valve cap.

If the tire pressure do not comply with
the provisions,tire abrasion will be
accelerated and influence security ,
automobile operability , comfort and fuel
oil fuel oil efficiency .Too low air
pressure will give rise to tire radiation

and internal loss and result in tire crack
and tire flat during high-speed driving.
Undiscovered damage on the tire can not
be eliminated by inflation pressure
adjustment.
Tire conditionThe tire shall not press on
the uneven side at parking. Driving on
sharp edge could bring about tire hidden
defect, which probably bring about the
