TYRE PRESSURE KIT

(3/3)

Once the tyre is correctly inflated,

remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-

flation adapter 6 to prevent any repair

product from escaping and store the

container in plastic packaging to pre-

vent the product from escaping.

– Affix the driving recommendation

label to the dashboard where it can

easily be seen by the driver;

– Put the kit away.
– At the end of this initial inflation op-

eration, air will still escape from the

tyre. You must drive a short distance

in order to seal the hole.

– Start immediately and drive at be-

tween 12 and 40 mph (20 and

60 km/h) in order to distribute the

product evenly in the tyre and, after

driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and

check the pressure.

– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar

but less than the recommended

pressure (refer to the label affixed to

the edge of the driver’s door), read-

just it. Otherwise, please contact an

authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be

repaired.

Precautions when using the

kit

The kit should not be operated for more

than 10 consecutive minutes.

Nothing should be placed

around the driver’s feet

as such objects may slide

under the pedals during

sudden braking manoeuvres and

obstruct their use.

Please be aware that a

poorly tightened or miss-

ing valve cap can make the

tyres less airtight and may

lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to

those fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

Following repair with the kit,

do not travel further than

120 miles (200 km). In addi-

tion, reduce your speed and

under no circumstances exceed

48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,

which you must affix in a prominent

position on the dashboard, reminds

you of this.

Depending on the country or local

legislation, a tyre repaired with the

inflation kit may need to be replaced.

If you have a puncture, re-

place the wheel as soon as

possible.
A tyre which has been punc-

tured should always be inspected

(and repaired, where possible) by a

specialist.

CHANGING A WHEEL

(2/2)

Turn it a few times to lift the wheel off

the ground.
Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on the

central hub and turn it to locate the

mounting holes in the wheel and the

hub.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the

wheel is correctly positioned on its hub.
Lower the jack.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten

the bolts fully and have the tightness of

the bolts checked and the emergency

spare wheel pressure checked as soon

as possible.

Do not leave the tools un-

secured inside the vehicle

as they may come loose

under braking. After use,

check that all the tools are correctly

clipped into the tool kit, then posi-

tion it correctly in its housing: risk of

injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the

tool kit, only use these bolts for the

emergency spare wheel: refer to the

label affixed to the emergency spare

wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel

changing purposes only. Under no

circumstances should it be used for

carrying out repairs underneath the

vehicle or to gain access to the un-

derside of the vehicle.

5.11

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 tread has worn down to the

wear warning strips, these strips will

become visible 2: it is then necessary

to replace your tyres because the tread

rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep at

most, resulting in poor road holding

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).

The pressures should be checked cold:

ignore higher pressures which may be

reached in hot weather or following a

high speed journey.
If the tyre pressures cannot be checked

when the tyres are cold, increase the

pressures from 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.

Special note

Depending on the vehicle, there may

be an adapter which needs to be posi-

tioned on the valve before air is added.

Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure

monitoring system
In cases of under-inflation (puncture,

low pressure, etc.), warning light



lights up on the instrument panel.

Please refer to the information on the

“Tyre pressure monitoring system” in

Section 2.

Emergency spare wheel

Refer to the information on “Puncture”

and “Changing a wheel” in Section 5.

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.

Changing a wheel
As the tyre pressure moni-

tor may take several min-

utes to correctly determine

the positions of the wheels and the

pressure values after driving, check

the tyre pressures following any op-

eration.

5.13

TYRES

(3/3)

Use in winter

Chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow

chains to the rear axle is strictly for-

bidden.
Chains cannot be fitted to tyres which

are larger than those originally fitted to

the vehicle.
Snow or Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be

fitted to all four wheels to ensure that

your vehicle retains maximum adhe-

sion.
Warning: These tyres sometimes have

a specific direction of rotation and a

maximum speed index which may be

lower than the maximum speed of your

vehicle.

Snow chains may only be

fitted to tyres of the same

size as those originally

fitted to your vehicle.

In all cases, we would recommend

that you contact an authorised

dealer who will be able to advise you

on the choice of equipment which is

most suitable for 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 neces-

sary to observe the speed specified by

current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be

fitted to the two front wheels.

18” wheels and larger

cannot be fitted with

chains.
If you wish to use special

equipment, consult an approved

dealer.

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 a speed capacity at

least equal to the original tyres,

or correspond to those recom-

mended by your 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.
