SEAT BELTS ABOUT SEAT BELTS Seat Belts WARNING: Seat belts should be worn by all occupants, for every journey no matter how short. Failure to do so greatly increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident. Seat belts and child restraint systems are the most effective means of restraining vehicle occupants from impact forces, which, in turn, minimizes the danger of injury from interior impacts and the effects of whiplash.
SEAT BELTS use the vehicle if the seat belts cannot be operated correctly. WARNING: Children can be seriously injured or strangled if a shoulder belt is wrapped around their neck and the seat belt continues to tighten. Never leave children unattended in a vehicle and never allow children to play with the seat belt.

TIRE CARE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Tire Care WARNING: The tires should be regularly checked for wear and to make sure that there are no cuts, bulges or exposure of the ply/cord structure. Do not drive with tires which are worn, damaged or inflated to the incorrect pressure. The safety of the vehicle and occupants will be adversely affected. WARNING: Poorly maintained and improperly used tires are dangerous. WARNING: Overloading the tires can cause overheating as a result of too much flexing.
TIRE CARE PUNCTURED TIRES TIRE WEAR WARNING: Do not drive the vehicle with a punctured tire. Even if the punctured tire has not deflated, it is unsafe to use as the tire may deflate suddenly at any time. WARNING: The tire wear indicators show the minimum tread depth recommended by the tire manufacturer. Tires which have worn to this point will have reduced grip and poor water displacement characteristics.
TIRE CARE NORMAL TIRE WEAR ASSESSING TIRE WEAR The characteristics for normal tire wear on the Karma are defined as: • A uniform thickness of usable rubber across the entire tread width of the tire. • The tread depth at the shoulder rib is reduced compared to the center of the tire. This helps the Karma achieve excellent steering and dry road handling performance. • Under typical operating conditions, the shoulder rib may appear to be wearing at an accelerated rate.
TIRE CARE TIRE PRESSURES CHECKING TIRE PRESSURES WARNING: Tire pressures should be checked using an accurate pressure gauge when cold. Under-inflation is the most common cause of tire failures and may result in severe tire cracking, tread separation or blowout, with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury. WARNING: Pressure checks should only be carried out when the tires are cold and the vehicle has been stationary for more than three hours.
TIRE CARE 4. If the tire pressure is too high, remove the gauge and allow air out of the tire by pressing the center of the valve. Reattach the gauge to the valve and check the pressure. 5. Repeat the process adding or removing air as required until the correct tire pressure is reached. 6. Reinstall the valve cap. Note: It is an offense in certain countries to drive a vehicle with incorrect tire pressures. Ideally, tires should be replaced as sets of four.
TIRE CARE DRIVING IN LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURES The tires installed on your Karma are specially formulated summer tires that are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. Tire performance reduces in low ambient temperatures, resulting in less grip and an increased susceptibility to damage from impacts. When driving in sustained temperatures below 50°F (10°C), it is recommended that winter tires be installed.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Your vehicle will not have a spare tire and will not use run-flat tires. The driver is solely responsible to periodically check the tire pressures. In case the user installs run-flat tires on the vehicle, it falls under his/her responsibility to make sure that the tires are inflated to the correct pressure level to prevent a TPMS malfunction.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) system could not learn the corresponding wheel. You will hear a double-chirp when all four wheels have successfully relearned.
