Wheels and Tires: Service Precautions
WARNINGS:
- Do not mix different types of tires on the same vehicle, handling may be seriously affected resulting in loss of control.
- A tire and wheel must always be correctly matched. Wider or narrower tires than recommended could cause danger through sudden deflation.
- When using the temporary spare wheel, speed must not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph). Drive with caution and replace with the specified wheel/tire assembly as soon as possible.
- Traction control (if available) must NOT be engaged with the temporary spare wheel fitted.
- When changing a wheel, ensure that the vehicle cannot move. Always apply the park brake and select transmission 'P' position.
- NEVER run the engine with one wheel off the ground, for example, when changing the wheel. The vehicle could move.
- Tighten the wheel nuts to specification. Wheels may come loose if over or under tightened.
- Use wheels and wheel nuts designed for XJ series vehicles only. Aftermarket wheels or wheel nuts may not fit or function properly and could cause injury or damage.
