If the tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, increase the

Special note concerning fully laden
vehicles (Maximum Permissible All-Up

(100 kph) and the tyre pressure in -
creased by 0.2 bar.
Please refer to the information on
“Weights” in Section 6.
t yre safety and use of snow chains:
Refer to the information on “Tyres” in
Section 5 for the servicing conditions
and, depending on the version, the use
of chains.
When they need to be replaced, only tyres of the same make, size, type
and profile should be used on a single axle.
t yres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those recommended by your approved
dealer.

Puncture
Emergency spare wheel
Puncture, emergency sP are WHeeL
In the event of a puncture,
depending on the vehicle,
you will have:
An emergency spare wheel or tyre in -
flation kit (refer to the information on the
following pages).
emergency spare wheel
This is located in the luggage compart-
ment. To access it:
– open the luggage compartment lid;
– lift luggage compartment carpet A;
– unscrew the central mounting;
– remove the emergency spare wheel.
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it
checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.
Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel which is different to
the four other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel identi -
cal to the original one.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the
driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wh\
eel.
– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs.
Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cor-
nering.
– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle
and check the tyre pressure.

tyre pressuresAdhere 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). 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.
special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may
be an adapter which needs to be posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added.Fitting new tyres

Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and in -
structions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.
tyres (2/3)
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.
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
– it may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
– It may change the way it handles
when cornering;
– It may cause the steering to be
heavy;
– It may affect the use of snow
chains.

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.
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.
tyres (3/3)
Chains may only be fitted
to tyres of the same size
as those originally fitted to
your vehicle.
Chains may be fitted, provided that
they are specific chains. We would
advise you to consult an approved
Dealer.
s pecial notes on versions fitted
with 17” wheels: they cannot be
fitted with snow chains.
If you wish to use special equip-
ment, consult an approved dealer.
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.
