TIAGO

SUSPENSION

The “low spot” of the wheel is originally marked by

paint dot on the wheel rim. If properly assembled,

the wheel rims’ paint dot should be aligned with the

tyres’ paint dot. Whenever a tyre is dismounted

from its wheel it should be remounted so that the

tyre and wheel are matched. If the tyre’s paint dot

cannot be located, a line should be marked on the

tyre and wheel before dismounting to assure that it

is remounted in the same position.

5.10.2. INFLATION OF TYRES:

The pressure recommended for any model is

carefully calculated to give a satisfactory ride,

stability, steering tread wear, tyre life and

resistance to bruises.

Tyre pressure with tyres cold, (after vehicle set for

three hours or more or driven less than one mile)

should be checked monthly or before any extended

trip. It is normal for tyre pressure to increase (0.28

bars, 4 psi) when the tyres become hot during

driving. Do not bleed or reduce tyre pressure after

driving. Bleeding reduces the “Cold inflation

Pressure”.

Recommended tyre pressures are

Front

: 33 to 36 psi.

Rear:

30-32 psi

In case of temporary spare wheel, tyre pressure of

temporary tyre should be 35 psi



Higher than recommended pressure can cause:

1. Hard ride

2. Tyre brushing or carcass damage

3. Rapid tread wear at center of tyre



Unequal pressure on same axle can cause:

1. Uneven braking

2. Vehicle pull

3. Reduced handling

4. Swerve on acceleration

Valve caps should be on the valves to keep dust

and water out.



Lower than recommended pressure can cause:

1. Tyre squeals on turns.

2. Hard steering

3. Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the

tread

4. Tyre rim bruises and rupture

5. Tyre cord breakage

5. High tyre temperature

6. Reduced handling

7. High fuel consumption
