TYRES

(1/3)

Maintaining the tyres

The tyres must be in good condition

and the tread form must have sufficient

depth; tyres approved by our Technical

Department have tread wear indica-

tors 1 which are indicators moulded

into the tread at several points.

The tyres are the only contact between

the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-

tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres

conform to local road traffic regulations.

When the tyre tread has been worn to

the level of the wear indicators, they

become visible 2: it is then necessary

to replace your tyres because the tread

rubber is no more than 1.6 mm deep,

resulting in poor roadholding on wet

roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys

by motorway, particularly in very hot

weather, or continual driving on poorly

surfaced minor roads will lead to more

rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

Incidents which occur when

driving, such as striking the

kerb, may damage the tyres

and wheel rims, and could

also lead to misalignment of the

front or rear axle geometry. In this

case, have the condition of these

checked by an approved dealer.

TYRES

(2/3)

Tyre pressures

Adhere to the tyre pressures (including

the emergency spare wheel). The tyre

pressures should be checked at least

once a month and additionally before

any long journey (refer to the label af-

fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).

Incorrect tyre pressures

lead to abnormal tyre wear

and unusually hot running.

These are factors which

may seriously affect safety and lead

to:
– poor road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa-

tion.

The pressure depends on the load

and the speed of use. Adjust the

pressure according to the condi-

tions of use (refer to the label affixed

to the edge of the driver’s door).

Please be aware that a

poorly tightened or miss-

ing valve cap can make the

tyres less airtight and lead

to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to

those fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

Pressures should be checked when the

tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures

which may be reached in hot weather

or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked

when the tyres are cold, the normal

pressures must be increased by 0.2 to

0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.

Dual wheel versions
To inflate the outer wheel, it is recom-

mended that the inflation tube is passed

between the two wheels.

Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure

loss warning system
If underinflated (puncture, low pres-

sure, etc.), the warning light



on

the instrument panel comes on, see

“Tyre pressure loss warning system” in

Section 2.

Changing wheels around

This practice is not recommended.

Emergency spare wheel

Refer to the information on the

“Emergency spare wheel” and

“Changing a wheel” in Section 5.

5.20

Note: be aware that these tyres may

sometimes have:

– a direction of travel ;

– a maximum speed index which may

be lower than the maximum speed of

your vehicle.

Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be

used for a limited period and as laid

down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the speed

specified by current legislation.

These tyres must, as a minimum, be

fitted to the two wheels on the front

axle for front wheel drive versions and

all the rear wheels for rear wheel drive

versions.

TYRES

(3/3)

Chains may only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally

fitted to your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted to tyres. Consult an approved Dealer.

Use in winter

Chains

Chains must not be fitted to tyres

which are larger than those originally

fitted to the vehicle.

Front wheel drive versions

For safety reasons, fitting snow

chains to the rear axle is strictly for-

bidden.

Rear wheel drive versions

For safety reasons, only fit chains

on the rear axle.

Note: for rear wheel drive, dual wheel

versions, fit chains on the outer rear

wheels.

Snow or winter tyres

We would recommend that these be

fitted to all four wheels to ensure that

your vehicle retains maximum grip.

In all cases, we would recommend

that you contact an approved Dealer

who will be able to advise you on

the choice of equipment which is

most suitable for your vehicle.

Fitting new tyres

For your safety, please re-

spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-

placed, only tyres of the

same make, size, type and profile

should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-

pacity and speed rating at least

equal to those of the original

tyres, or conform to those recom-

mended by an authorised dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions

could endanger your safety and

affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-

ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-

hicle.

If any electrical component does not

work, check the condition of the fuses.

Remove the fuse using tweezers 1, lo-

cated at the back of flap A.

To remove the fuse from the tweezers,

slide the fuse to the side.

It is not advisable to use the free fuse

locations.

To comply with legislation, or as a

precaution, you can obtain an emer-

gency kit containing a set of spare

bulbs and fuses from an approved

dealer.

Your vehicle is equipped with two fuse

boxes: in the passenger compartment

and in the engine compartment.

A

Fuses in the passenger

compartment

Unclip flap A using notch B to help you.
To identify the fuses, refer to the fuse

allocation label (see the next page for

details), located on the rear of flap A.

B

Check the fuse in question

and replace it, if neces-

sary, by a fuse of the same

rating.

If a fuse is fitted where the rating is

too high, it may cause the electrical

circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the

event of an item of equipment using

an excessive amount of current.

Connecting a battery charger

The battery charger must be com-

patible with a battery with nominal

voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery when the

engine is running. Follow the instruc-

tions given by the manufacturer of

the battery charger you are using.
When many accessories are fitted to

the vehicle, have them connected to

the + after ignition feed.

BATTERY: troubleshooting

(1/2)

To avoid all risk of sparks:

– Ensure that any consumers (cour-

tesy lights, etc.) are switched off

before disconnecting or reconnect-

ing the battery;

– when charging, stop the charger

before connecting or disconnecting

the battery;

– to avoid creating a short circuit be-

tween the terminals, do not place

metal objects on the battery;

– always wait at least one minute after

the engine has been switched off

before disconnecting a battery;

– make sure that you reconnect the

battery terminals after refitting.

Special procedures may be

required to charge some

batteries. Contact your ap-

proved dealer.

Avoid all risk of sparks which may

cause an immediate explosion, and

charge the battery in a well venti-

lated area. Risk of serious injury.

Handle the battery with care

as it contains sulphuric acid,

which must not come into

contact with eyes or skin. If

it does, wash the affected area with

plenty of cold water. If necessary,

consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot

objects and sparks do not come into

contact with the battery as there is a

risk of explosion.
Please note when working close to

the engine that it may be hot. In ad-

dition, the engine cooling fan may

start at any moment. The



warning light in the engine compart-

ment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.
