Ultra high performance tires

E92076

CAUTION

Ultra high performance tires.

This vehicle is equipped with an

Ultra High Performance (UHP) tire and
wheel combination designed to give
maximum dry road performance with
consideration for aquaplaning
resistance. UHP tires have performance
enhancing soft rubber tread compound.
If driven aggressively they may suffer
rapid tread wear and a shorter life than
can be expected from other tyre types.
This wheel and tire combination is more
susceptible to damage from road
hazards.

Do not use this combination for driving
on snow or ice. High perfromance tires
must be replaced with winter tires when
weather conditions dictate.

CAUTION

Tires with an all season icon have a
level of winter performance and
need not be replaced.

Tire pressure monitoring system

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) monitors the pressures of the
tires, providing a warning of low tire
pressure. See TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
(page 238).

If a warning appears one, or more, of your
tires are significantly under-inflated. You
should stop and check your tire
pressures as soon as possible. They
should be inflated to the recommended
pressure. If warnings appear repeatedly,
the cause must be investigated and
rectified.

Check pressures when the tires are cold.
Deflating a warm tire to the
recommended cold inflation pressure,
will result in dangerous under-inflation.
