MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE
NOTE : The jack should never be supported on any of
the body sheet metal components. This can cause
damage to the body.
Do not apply oil on the wheel pins. Wipe off the oil if
present.
• The jack should be placed below the body sill behind the
front wheel tyre for front wheel changing and before the
rear wheel tyre for rear wheel changing. Please refer to
the sticker (Jack location) fixed on the jack.
Do not work under the jacked up car without proper
support.
Wheels & Tyres
Whenever a tyre or wheel rim is changed, the tyre needs to
be balanced.
1. Permissible imbalance for tyre with rim = 125 gm. cm.
(max.)
2. Total balance weight should be within 80 gm on each
side.
3. Relocate the tyre on the wheel rim if the weight required
to balance is more than 80 gm.
4. Balance weights are available from 5 gm to 80 gm, in
steps of 5 gm.
5. Do not use more than one balance weight on one side.
Correct wheel alignment helps to ensure uniform tyre wear.
You should get your car’s wheel alignment checked regularly
as per recommendation.
In case uneven tyre wear is observed, the vehicle’s wheel
alignment should be checked as soon as possible.
Wheel Balancing :
Wheels are balanced at the factory. They may need to be
rebalanced at some time.
The wheels should be checked for balance if a tyre or tube
is repaired.
