Recommendations.
The air pressure in the front and rear tires should be 0.19 MPa (1.9 kgf/cm²).
Check your tire pressure regularly. Too much or too little pressure will cause premature tire wear, and will impair handling and stability.
To ensure that the tires wear evenly, rotate the wheels every 15,000 km as shown in Fig. 2.3. Also, balance the wheels and adjust the front wheel alignment angles every 15,000 km. To do this, contact a specialized workshop.

Warnings! All wheel repair work should be carried out in specialized workshops. Make sure that the wheel is balanced after repair. Operating tires with worn treads may cause an accident.
1. Unscrew the cap from the valve.

2. Check the air pressure in the tire. To do this, reset the pressure gauge to zero by pressing a special button, and, having connected the pressure gauge to the valve, press it.

2. Check the air pressure in the tire
3. If the pressure is less than required, connect the hose tip to the valve and pump air, monitoring the pressure on the pressure gauge on the pump.
4. If the pressure is higher than required, press with a special protrusion of the pressure gauge (shown by arrow) on the valve and release air from the tire. Measure the pressure with a pressure gauge. Repeat these operations until the pressure reaches the norm.
5. If you notice that the air pressure in your tires is constantly dropping, try tightening the valve core using a cap and key.
Note: This is what the protective cap looks like with the key for tightening the valve core.
Protective cap
Warning! To avoid contamination of the valve stems, do not operate the vehicle without protective caps. If the caps have been lost, be sure to install new ones.
6. To check the valve for leaks, wet the threaded hole of the valve. If bubbles of escaping air appear, replace the valve.
7. Measure the remaining tread depth with a caliper. If the tread depth is 1.6 mm or less, replace the tire.

8. Check the tightness of the wheel mounting bolts and tighten them if necessary (see tightening torque).
