TIAGO

SUSPENSION 48 5.10.3. TYRE ROTATION: To maintain equal & uniform wear, rotate tyres as per fig 88a & 88b, according to service schedule or earlier depending on the operating condition of car and wear pattern. Ensure correct recommended tyre pressure is maintained. NOTE: Due to their design, radial tyres tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly in front positions. This makes regular rotation necessary. Do not use spare steel wheel rim for tyre rotation, when vehicle is fitted with alloy wheel rims. FIG. 88a FIG. 88a 5.10.4. WHEEL REMOVAL: 1.Loosen wheel bolts (M12 x 1.5) by approximately 180 deg (half a rotation) 2.Lift the vehicle using two post lift. 3.Remove bolts and then wheel. Wheel bolts must be tightened in sequence given in Fig 89 and to proper torque to avoid bending wheel or brake disc. FIG. 89 NOTE: 1. Clean all parts and remove any buildup of corrosion of any parts, before installation of the wheel. 2.Never heat any part to loosen tight wheel, it will shorten life of wheel. 5.10.5 TYRE MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING: Use a tyre changing machine to mount or demount tyres. Follow equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use hand tools or tyre irons alone to change tyres as they may damage tyre beads or wheel rim. Rim bead seats should be cleaned with a wire brush or coarse steel wool to remove lubricants, old rubber, and light rust. After mounting, inflate to specified pressure so that beads are completely sealed. WARNING: Do not stand over tyre when inflating. Bead may break when bead snaps over rim’s safety hump and cause serious personal injury. Do not exceed specified pressure when inflating. If the beads will not seat at the manufacturer's maximum bead seating pressure, deflate, re- lubricate and reinflate. Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
