[. . . ] · normal occupant weight means- 68 kilograms times the number of occupants. · occupant distribution means- distribution of occupants in a vehicle. · Production options weight means- the combined weight of those installed regular production options weighing over 2. 3 kilograms in excess of those standard items which they replace, not previously considered in curb weight or accessory weight, including heavy duty brakes, ride levelers, roof rack, heavy duty battery, and special trim. · Tread means- that portion of the tire that comes in contact with the road. [. . . ] · Tire Ply Composition and materials Used- The number of plies indicates the number of layers of rubber-coated fabric in the tire. In general, the greater the number of plies, the more weight a tire can support. Tire manufacturers also must indicate the materials in the tire, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others. · maximum Permissible inflation Pressure- This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire under normal driving conditions.

Therefore, it is important to keep tires label, or in the owner's manual. has 60 PSI recommended cold tire inflation pressure. Check all tires' pressure at least monthly, due to the following factors: 2. Measure and record the tire pressure of all tires. · Most tires naturally lose air gradually. · Tires can suddenly lose air if the tire strikes a pothole, curb, or other object. · It is usually not possible to determine underinflation of radial tires by visual inspection. This vehicle has 60 PSI recommended cold tireinflationpressure. Theterm"cold"inthismanual does not refer to the temperature outside, but it refers to the fact that a tire that has not been driven for a period is cooler (and therefore has lower pressure) 3. If the tire pressure is too high in any of the tires and the tires have not been driven for at least three hours, slowly release air by gently pressing on the tire valve stem with the edge of your tire gauge until you get to the correct pressure. If the vehicle have been driven within the past three hours and the tire pressure is too high on any tires, then recheck the pressure once the tires have been allowed to sit motionless for at least three hours.

If the tire pressure is too low, note the difference between the measured tire pressure and the correct tire pressure. These "missing" pounds of pressure are what you will need to add. [. . . ] The tires also need to be aligned properly. Alignment is the orientation of the tires to the road surface and their being parallel. This helps the tires to wear evenly, and provide better traction. Both tire balance and alignment require specialized equipment that is not provided with this vehicle.
