Warning: Balance the wheels and adjust the front wheel alignment every 30,000 km. To do this, contact a specialized workshop.
Warnings:
- The car uses tires of size 135/80 R12.
- Air pressure in front and rear tires - 0.18 MPa (1.8 kgf/cm²).
- A difference in air pressure in the tires of any wheels of 0.2-0.3 kgf/cm² can worsen the handling parameters, smoothness of the car and lead to skidding or drifting when braking. Due to reduced pressure in the tires, the tread wears out faster and more fuel is consumed.
- All wheel repair work should be carried out in specialized workshops. Make sure that the wheel is balanced after repair. Using tires with worn treads can lead to an accident.
Protective cap with a key for tightening the valve core.
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.
Recommendations:
- We recommend using a foot pump with a built-in pressure gauge.
- To ensure that your tires wear evenly, rotate the wheels according to the diagram every 10,000 km.

Check the air pressure in the tire. To do this, connect the pressure gauge to the valve and press the valve.
If the pressure is less than required, connect the pump hose tip to the valve and pump air, monitoring the pressure on the pressure gauge on the pump.
If the pressure is higher than required, press the special protrusion of the pressure gauge on the valve and release air from the tire. Measure the pressure with the pressure gauge again. Repeat these operations until the pressure in the tire is normal.
If you notice that the air pressure in your tire is constantly dropping, try tightening the valve core using a cap and key.
To check the valve for leaks, park the car so that the valve is on top and immerse the valve in a container with water or soap solution. If air bubbles appear, replace the valve.
Measure the remaining tread depth with a caliper. If the tread depth is 1.6 mm or less, replace the tire.
Check the tightness of the wheel nuts and tighten them if necessary (for tightening torque, see appendix 1).
