Tire Pressure

ƽ

WARNING

Tire pressure greatly affects vehi-
cle handling and stability. Under-
pressure may cause tire to deflate
and rotate on wheel.

Overpres-

sure may burst the tire.

Always

follow

recommended

pressure.

Since tires are low-pressure types,
a manual pump should be used.

Check pressure when tires are “cold”
before using the vehicle. Tire pres-
sure changes with temperature and
altitude. Recheck pressure if one of
these conditions has changed.

For your convenience, a pressure
gauge is supplied in tool kit.

TIRE PRESSURE

FRONT/REAR

MAX.

34 kPa (5 PSI)

UP to

150 kg

(330 lb)

MIN.

26 kPa (3.8 PSI)

Although the tires are specifically de-
signed for off-road use, a flat may still
occur. Therefore, it is recommended
to carry a tire pump and a repair kit.

Tire/Wheel Condition

Check tire for damage and wear. Re-
place if necessary.

Do not rotate tires. The front and rear
tires have a different size. The tires
are directional and their rotation must
be kept in a specific direction for prop-
er operation.

Wheel Removal

Loosen nuts then lift vehicle. Place a
support under vehicle. Remove nuts
then remove wheel.

At installation, it is recommended to
apply anti-seize lubricant on threads.
Gently tighten nuts in a criss-cross se-
quence then apply a final torque of
50 N•m (37 lbf•ft).
