Precautions for Servicing Wheels and Tires: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Do not mix different types of tires on the same vehicle such as radial, bias and bias-belted tires except in emergencies, because vehicle handling may be seriously affected and may result in loss of control.
- Repairs by any means including welding, heating or peening are not permitted. All damaged wheels should be replaced.
- There are two types of vehicle, one with TPMS and the other without TPMS. Check which type of vehicle is being serviced, referring to IDENTIFICATION OF TPMS-EQUIPPED VEHICLES before servicing its tires or wheels. Failure to follow the specified procedure when servicing tires or wheels of a vehicle equipped with TPMS may cause damage to the tire pressure sensors.
