167) Do not cross switch the tyres if they
are "unidirectional" type. In this case,
always take care not to fit the tyres with a
direction of rotation that is opposite to that
indicated: you would risk losing grip and
control of the vehicle.
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
THE ROTATION OF THE
TYRES
The front and rear tyres are subject to
different loads and stress due to
steering, manoeuvres and braking. For
this reason they are subject to uneven
wear.
WARNING
53) Road holding depends also on the
correct tyre inflating pressure.
To resolve this problem, tyres should be
rotated at the appropriate time. This
operation is recommended for tyres
with a deep tread pattern, suitable both
for on-road and off-road driving.
Tyre rotation contributes to the
54) If the pressure is too low the tyre

damage.

55) Do not cross switch the tyres, moving
them from the right of the vehicle to the left
and vice versa.
WARNING
preservation of the grip and traction
performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the vehicle.
56) Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
166) The vehicle must only be lifted
laterally by positioning the end of the arms
or the workshop lift in the points illustrated
in fig. 113
In the case of irregular wear of the
tyres, the reason must be identified and
corrected before rotating them.
WARNING
