LR3/Disco 3
Tire Changing
Care must be taken when removing and refitting tires to ensure that the tire pressure sensor is not damaged.
When removing the tire, the bead breaker must not be used within 90 degrees of the tire valve in each direction.
When using the tire removal machine, the fitting arm start position must be positioned as shown in the tire changing
illustration. The wheel can then be rotated through 180 degrees in a counterclockwise direction. This will relieve the high
tension from the tire bead allowing the remaining 180 degrees of the tire to be manually pulled from the rim.
When refitting the tire, position the fitting arm as shown. Rotate the tire and take care that the bead on the low tension
side of the tire does not damage the sensor.

Vehicles supplied to the North American markets must comply with the legislation of the Transport Recall Enhancement,
Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) act. Part of the requirement of the TREAD act is for the vehicle to display a
label, positioned on the driver's side B-pillar, which defines the recommended tire inflation pressure, load limits and
maximum load of passengers and luggage weight the vehicle can safely carry. This label will be specific to each individual
vehicle and will be installed on the production line.
This label must not be removed from the vehicle. The label information will only define the specification of the vehicle as it
came off the production line. It will not include dealer or owner fitted accessory wheels and tires of differing size from the
original fitment.
