Tire pressures that are too low pose the following hazards:
- The tires may burst, especially as the load and vehicle
speed increase.
- The tires may wear excessively and/or unevenly, which
may greatly impair tire traction.
- The driving characteristics, as well as steering and
braking, may be greatly impaired.
You could then lose control of the vehicle.
- Observe the recommended tire pressure.
- Adjust the tire pressure if necessary.
|
