2.16.3 Tyre tread depth

UK law requires that tyres must have a minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm across the central three
quarters of the tyre width. This extends to the whole circumference. Failure to comply could
result in you getting 3 penalty points for each tyre below the minimum legal requirement.

Glen Dimplex policy is for all tyres to be changed at a depth of 2.0mm.

2.16.4 Tyre and wheel condition
You must regularly check the condition of wheels and tyres. It is recommended that you visually
check the condition of the wheels and tyres at least weekly.

If in doubt refer to the manufacturer’s handbook or call ALD/Lombard for advice.

Check:

• Wheel nuts are secure.
• Road wheel is undamaged.
• Tyre sidewalls are not damaged and there are no cuts, bulges or cords exposed.
• Tread pattern for wear and damage.

2.17 AdBlue

Euro 6 diesel vehicles need to be filled with a special fluid called AdBlue. This is to make sure
the vehicle adheres to emissions regulations.

The display on the vehicle will advise when the AdBlue needs topping up. It will show a
countdown to the tank being empty. You should top up as soon as it is safely possible. Once the
countdown reaches zero the vehicle won’t start.

The AdBlue is filled into a separate filler neck which can be identified by a blue cap labelled
AdBlue. This is located either in the engine bay or next to the fuel filler cap, depending on the
vehicle type. It’s vitally important that AdBlue is filled into the correct tank. Putting AdBlue into
the fuel tank will seriously damage the vehicle.

More information on how to top up the AdBlue is provided in your specific vehicle user guide.

2.18 Keys

If you lose your keys or they are stolen this must be reported to ALD/Lombard.

If the keys need a new battery these must be obtained from a main dealer, which can usually
be arranged without a booking. If a new key fob is required due to wear and tear caused by age
or is no longer working speak with the fleet manager.

The vehicle will need to be booked into a main dealer as the key has to be reprogrammed to
the vehicle.
